Transform Health Care. Expand Your Scope of Practice.
One of the country’s first university-based nursing programs, Simmons School of Nursing was founded in 1902 to help students turn their passion for helping and healing into their life’s work.
As an online FNP or PMHNP student, you will benefit from a dynamic blend of live, online courses with expert faculty; interactive, self-paced coursework; and hands-on clinical experiences close to home. You can earn your MSN in as few as 24 months, or earn your post-graduate certificate in as few as 12 months (full time).
During your program, you will:
- Complete innovative curricula created for nurses, by nurses.
- Partner closely with our clinical placement team.
- Join us in Boston for an in-person immersion.
Our MSN degree programs are designed for licensed registered nurses (RNs) who have earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or a bachelor’s with a major in nursing.
Our post-graduate certificate programs are designed for licensed, certified advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) who hold a graduate degree in nursing (either an MSN or a DNP).
Simmons’ BSN, MSN, and DNP programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The post-graduate certificate programs are pursuing initial CCNE accreditation.5
