The traditional full-time curriculum track is designed specifically for students who are earning their first college degree. Generally, these are students who have graduated from high school and are beginning their college education or students who have earned college credits at another university and are transferring those credits to MSOE. Students are accepted directly into the nursing major. Progression through the sequence of clinical courses is guaranteed to all students who maintain full-time status and continue to meet the academic progression criteria. 

You may want to consider nursing if you …

  • Are motivated by a genuine desire to care for others and make a tangible difference in their lives.
  • Find fulfillment in helping people thrive not only physically, but mentally, socially, and spiritually.
  • Value empathy, service, and human connection, even in challenging circumstances.
  • Are fascinated by human biology, health sciences, and the evolving role of technology in healthcare.
  • Want a profession that lets you make a difference every single day—in hospitals, clinics, communities, or beyond.
