Healthcare Master's Degrees Offered
WGU provides a number of bridge programs to help healthcare professionals earn an MSN degree, including three RN-to-MSN programs and five BSN-to-MSN programs. WGU also offers a Master of Healthcare Administration program to provide education and training for future healthcare leaders. For most of these graduate degrees, you will have to have earned either an associate’s degree or diploma in nursing from an accredited institution or state board of nursing approved program, have an active RN license in your state of employment, or have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). If you're looking to add another specialty to your license or gain additional expertise in the healthcare field, a master's degree in healthcare can be a perfect fit.
