About the Program

Established in 1979, the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) at South Dakota State University prepares nurses for advanced practice in nursing administration or education.

We feature collaboration and placement with over 200 established partnerships in a variety of local and regional clinical settings. Our clinical preceptors are engaged, caring healthcare professionals who provide an invaluable piece of our students’ clinical education.

Yearly annual fall admission and flexible scheduling allows students to finish the MSN program in two to four and one half years. Total credits vary depending on the specialization chosen. No matter what you choose, we have programs in a variety of formats to meet your evolving needs.
