Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Montana State’s Nursing program educates potential nurses to combine empathetic connection and clinical judgement to provide holistic, client-centered health care to their patients. Once potential candidates complete the pre-nursing curriculum and are successfully admitted into the nursing program, students then study in rigorous, hands-on learning environments in one of five campus sites in Bozeman, Billings, Great Falls, Kalispell and Missoula. At the conclusion of the program, students will be prepared to sit for the NCLEX-RN examination in order to become a registered nurse in the field.

The Nursing program has two tracks: the traditional B.S.N. in Nursing and the Accelerated B.S.N. in Nursing.

Freshmen will be considered for admission on the basis of their secondary school record and their English proficiency. Applicants who can prove their English language proficiency and have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5/4.0 on a U.S. scale will qualify for admission.
