About These Program Levels

Bachelor’s. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing, or BSN, is a four year undergraduate degree. It prepares students for initial RN licensure through classroom coursework and supervised clinical hours.

Graduates typically become eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN. Learn more in our [Nursing Degree Types guide](/resources/nursing-degree-types) or our [How to Become an RN guide](/resources/how-to-become-an-rn).

Master’s. A Master of Science in Nursing, or MSN, is the traditional graduate nursing degree. It serves as the foundation for advanced practice roles, as well as nursing education, administration, and informatics tracks.

Understanding Accreditation and State Approval

Nursing programs can carry two related but distinct types of quality assurance. Institutional accreditation covers the college or university as a whole, confirmed by an accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Programmatic nursing accreditation is separate, most commonly granted by the CCNE or the ACEN.

A school can hold institutional accreditation without its nursing program holding programmatic accreditation, so it is worth checking both. Most states also require state board of nursing approval for pre-licensure programs, which is a separate regulatory requirement.

Because accreditation and approval status can change over time, verify current status using the official directory below rather than relying only on a school’s own marketing materials.

What the Application Process Generally Looks Like

Every school’s specific requirements differ, but nursing program applications commonly follow a similar shape. Entry-level programs typically require transcripts, prerequisite coursework, a minimum GPA, and sometimes an entrance exam.

Bridge and RN-completion programs generally require proof of an active, unencumbered license in addition to transcripts. Graduate and doctoral programs typically add a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and relevant clinical experience for advanced practice tracks.

These requirements vary by program and can change from year to year. Always confirm the exact, current requirements directly with the school before applying.

Verifying Your State’s Licensure Requirements

Nursing licensure is regulated separately by each state, not just by the school or the accreditor. If you plan to become licensed or practice in Puerto Rico, or in any other state, confirm that your intended program meets that state’s specific requirements before enrolling.

You can find contact information for any state’s board of nursing through the NCSBN’s official member directory. This is the most reliable way to reach the correct regulatory body for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a nursing program is properly accredited?
Search the official CCNE or ACEN directories directly, rather than relying on a school’s own claims. These directories confirm current accreditation status and the exact programs covered.

What is the difference between institutional and programmatic accreditation?
Institutional accreditation applies to the college or university as a whole. Programmatic accreditation is specific to the nursing program itself, and a school can have one without the other.

Can nursing licensure requirements affect which program I should choose?
Yes. Licensure is regulated separately by each state, so a program that works well for one student may not meet requirements in another state.

Where can I find current tuition and admission deadline information?
These details change frequently and are best confirmed directly on the school’s official website, linked above.
