ADN to MS Pathway Program
The UCSF School of Nursing and John F. Kennedy University (JFKU) have created a partnership to provide a special opportunity for RNs with an ADN degree. You can complete your BA or BS degree in 18-24 months at JFKU in the East Bay and then go on to graduate nursing education at UCSF. UCSF has more than 20 Master's degree specialties in Nursing and an outstanding PhD program that is open to nurses with a Baccalaureate or Master's degree.
While educational degrees are appreciated by employers, education is ultimately something you give to yourself. Education is life enhancing, providing the tools to turn your vision of who you are and what you want to become tangible; to make your aspirations a reality.
In the JFKU degree programs you will sharpen your writing and communication skills, develop cultural and social awareness, enhance knowledge and critical thinking abilities and cultivate personal growth and leadership potential. John F. Kennedy University offers small classes, convenient schedules for working adults, online course options and strategies to save time and money, including earning credit for life experience.
After you finish your Baccalaureate degree at JFKU, if you choose to earn your Master of Science degree (MS) or begin doctoral study, our Pathway Program allows you to take advantage of our special relationship with one of the most highly ranked graduate nursing schools in the country.
For more than 90 years, the UCSF School of Nursing has prepared nursing professionals who strive for excellence in clinical practice, education, research, and public service. The School of Nursing is committed to the recruitment and graduation of persons representing populations historically under-represented in the nursing profession.
In the School of Nursing, you will find a dedicated graduate health science program and a welcoming environment for learning; you will grow with students from different backgrounds representing peoples from all over the world.
