Get the training you need to fill the demand for nurse educators. 

If you decide to go on to earn your master's in nursing, some credits may be applied to our nursing education graduate degree programs.

Graduate studies in nursing set you up for success.

Nurses with a master's degree are:

• More marketable: A nurse with an MSN is qualified for far more job opportunities than one with an RN or BSN.
• Making more money: Nurses with an MSN make $96,000 a year on average.
• Able to customize: When you pursue an MSN, you have the chance to get more specialized in your position in areas such as research, mental health care, pediatric care and oncology.

At Eastern, you’ll benefit from the knowledge and hands-on practice of highly qualified faculty, while having the opportunity to learn in a variety of settings for clinical experiences. And, if you're interested in continuing your education, we offer four nursing graduate degrees and a doctoral program.
