Students who already hold undergraduate degrees in other majors are eligible for admission into our combined degree option. The BSN-MSN Segue Option at Emory is designed for non-nurses interested in becoming a nurse practitioner or certified nurse-midwife.
Students are accepted to both the BSN program and the MSN program simultaneously for a seamless course of study.

Students are awarded a BSN and spend the summer after graduating taking the NCLEX exam to secure RN licensure.
Part Two: Graduate Specialty
