Master of Science in Nursing

Coming Spring 2025

Florida State University’s Master of Science in Nursing is an online graduate degree that prepares students to elevate their careers in various settings, such as private practices, government agencies and institutes of higher learning. The FSU College of Nursing’s MSN program offers concentrations in two increasingly notable areas of nursing—AI Applications in Health Care and Nursing Education.

Recognizing the imperative to equip future nursing leaders with a deep understanding of emerging technologies, our MSN curriculum integrates AI, cutting-edge advancements, and entrepreneurship. The AI Applications in Health Care concentration will create a new generation of nursing professionals ready to navigate and leverage innovative skills and knowledge.

The Nursing Education concentration was created for students who want to focus on clinical education and teach future generations of health care professionals. Graduates will leave with leadership skills, communications acumen and the ability to step into developing and implementing nursing curriculum.
