The Keigwin School of Nursing offers three available MSN cognates in a cohort format. MSN cohorts are designed for students who are working nurses looking for a delivery model and pace to allow their educational plans to fit in with a busy professional life. These cohorts are often taught at local hospitals, and with a closed class that moves through together from start to finish, thus providing a consistent and encouraging support system of classmates for the duration of the degree. This model designs the degree progression to allow students to focus on only one course a time, one night per week, in a hybrid format which delivers some content in person and some content online. Utilizing this model for our MSN cohorts provides students with a reasonable pace that can be balanced with a student’s busy personal and professional life, while still allowing them to complete their MSN degree in 18-22 months. For those interested in pursuing their MSN in our cohort model, the following cognates are available:

* Post-Master’s certificates are available for all of these specializations.
