This online graduate program allows RNs with bachelor’s degrees to earn both a Master of Science in Nursing and a Master of Business Administration in Leadership.  Both degrees are awarded at the same time with the completion of all requirements. This 60-credit dual degree benefits nurses who are, or plan to be, in a leadership position such as, manager, director of nursing or Chief Nursing Officer (CNO).  The Leadership MBA curriculum also develops insight and foresight, and deepens the understanding of the quantitative and qualitative relationships within organizations.
