Put Your Caring Into Action!

From frontline nursing to shaping health care policy, a Purdue nursing degree is a stepping stone to unlimited career and life opportunities. The school offers:

• Four-year baccalaureate program for high school graduates
• RN-to-BS track
• Second degree baccalaureate program
• Master of Science (MS) as an Adult Nurse Practitioner
• Master of Science (MS) as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
• Post master's Adult Nurse Practitioner Certificate
• Post master's Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Certificate
• Post master's Oncology Certificate
• Doctor of Nursing Practice

The baccalaureate and master's programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. In Fall 2009, the School hosted an accreditation visit for its Doctor of Nursing Practice and Master's programs, and in April 2010 the CCNE board agreed with the report from the accreditation visitors that there were no deficiencies or recommendations. Both programs received the maximum number of years of approval; the Master's program received 10 years, and the DNP received five years (standard for an initial approval).
