Recognized as a leading accredited graduate level nursing program, Commonwealth University prepares future nurses for a wide range of careers in critical care, obstetrics, pediatrics, rehabilitation, trauma, home care, and other clinical specialties and case management.
Our Master of Science in Nursing is recognized as a leading accredited program known for academic excellence and facilitating the adult learner to achieve their professional goals.
Commonwealth University's progressive, challenging curricula — along with distinguished experienced faculty — provide vital knowledge and skills to develop competence in the multifaceted roles of advanced nursing practice. Graduates are prepared to pursue a career as an Advanced Practice Nurse, to assume leadership roles, and the opportunity to specialize in areas like population health, administration, nursing informatics, or school health.
Commonwealth University's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares nurse leaders to apply advanced practice skills at the highest level of clinical practice. We offer both a Past Master’s DNP and a Nurse Anesthesia BSN to DNP program to help you attain your goals.
