Students are prepared for roles in nursing education or nursing administration. The graduate program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Students pursuing the nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist or nurse executive role preparations need to apply to the post-baccalaureate Doctor of Nursing Practice (BSN-to-DNP) degree option in keeping with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) decision to transition advanced practice nursing preparation to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree level.
