The Nursing program offers graduate study leading to the Master of Nursing degree. At the Master's level the program is designed to meet the need of place-bound nurses interested in advanced nursing in a variety of settings.

At UW, Bothell you will find faculty and staff exceptionally committed to students and the development of a program that meets your needs as a nursing leader.
The program focus is on leadership in practice, research and education. At UW Bothell the core curriculum includes nursing research, analysis of health systems, health policy, health disparities, ethics and aesthetics. Students pursue scholarly inquiry by completing a project. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on mentoring with faculty and in fieldwork placements. Students are admitted each fall within a cohort model and in the second year direct their own fieldwork with populations of interest with special emphasis on professional development and leadership training.
The MN program is designed with block scheduling with classes on Fridays for part-time study (6 credits per quarter) over 7 quarters. While it is possible to begin taking coursework spring and summer quarters, beginning in the Autumn Quarter is best for course sequencing.

Time limits for acceptance of courses taken as a GNM are six years for a master's degree.
