Upon graduation from the BS program, students continue directly into the doctoral program.
If students are making satisfactory progress in the Early Entry PhD Option (including maintaining a GPA of 3.25 or higher), admission to the PhD program is guaranteed. Students have also exchanged undergraduate courses for graduate-level population coursework such as enrolling in a women’s health theory course instead of an undergraduate family/perinatal course.Īpplication to the doctoral program is completed during the first year of the baccalaureate degree. For example, Early Entry students have substituted graduate level quantitative and interpretive research courses for the undergraduate research course, thereby gaining considerable more depth in research while undergraduates. Graduate course work may be substituted for undergraduate required courses. The Early Entry PhD Option in nursing is an innovative program designed for undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a research career. Early Entry students enroll in the honors program, which provides an introduction to the research conducted by School of Nursing faculty and also a structure for introductory research experiences.Īs students progress in the program, clinical experiences and coursework are tailored to fit with their identified areas of inquiry. Admission to the Nursing Honors Program is based on academic performance and one essay. The application process occurs during the first fall of enrollment in the nursing program. Honors students take the required N444 Health Systems, Policy, Economics, and Research course for 2 credits instead of the standard 3 credits during the spring of the second year as some N444 content is delivered during the N679 Nursing Honors Research Seminar.Īll Traditional BSN students may apply to the program. They complete 1-2 credits of the Senior Honors Thesis (N681/N682) course during both the fall and spring of the second year. Honors students enroll in a 2-credit Nursing Honors Research Seminar (N679) during the spring term of the first year of enrollment in the nursing program. The mentor will also assist with identification and implementation of a senior honors thesis. Once a student is assigned a faculty mentor, the mentor will help the student understand the research process and provide research-related resources. In addition, students in the honors program acquire an enriched view of nursing science.Įach student in the Nursing Honors Program has an active role in identifying a faculty mentor. Students who successfully complete the Nursing Honors Program graduate with distinguished academic performance and receive a Bachelor of Science-Nursing (BSN) with Honors. The UW-Madison School of Nursing offers a Nursing Honors Program for high-ability students seeking early research involvement with a faculty mentor. They educate their peers, patients, and future nurses, and participate in groundbreaking research that transforms healthcare, improves well being, and advances nursing practice. Our graduates work in all corners of the health system, from the exam room to the board room to the military. Our students leave prepared and confident for what’s next: 93 percent of UW–Madison graduates pass the licensure exam on their first attempt. We also welcome transfer applications from students who have completed all of our general education and nursing prerequisites at another institution.īSN students participate in interactive simulations using state-of-the-art technology and work under the supervision of clinical experts each semester to provide hands-on care to individuals, families, or communities. Students can apply to the School of Nursing after they are admitted to UW–Madison and complete all general education and pre-nursing requirements.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program is a two-year course sequence.
