For applicants to our Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), you will need to decide which MS specialty area includes the advance practice role that is right for you, so that you can declare your specialty at the time of application. During screening, a large part of the evaluation will focus on your fit for the specialty and the specific advanced practice role associated with the specialty.
The following table outlines which MS specialties admit MEPN students:
