Concurrent Two-Degree Options
Interdisciplinary learning and collaboration are core values of the Penn Nursing experience. That’s why we offer students the opportunity to concurrently complete additional degrees across the university.
All programs require students to submit separate applications although once accepted to the MSN program we share application materials with other programs as possible. Faculty advisors from each program collaborate on developing an efficient and enriching plan of study based on your career interests.
