University of Kansas
The University of Kansas is headquartered in Lawrence, but its health sciences schools operate from the KU Medical Center campus in Kansas City, Kansas, alongside the University of Kansas Hospital. The School of Nursing sits within that campus, which means students train in the same complex as the state's academic medical center and share space with schools of medicine and health professions. Public tuition applies, and the university's research standing supports doctoral study and funded nursing research.
Programs include baccalaureate preparation for students entering the profession, an accelerated option for those already holding degrees in other fields, a completion pathway for licensed registered nurses, and graduate study through the master's and doctoral levels for nurses advancing into practice, education, or research. Undergraduate coursework builds through health assessment, pharmacology, and pathophysiology into nursing care across medical-surgical, maternal-newborn, pediatric, psychiatric-mental health, and community settings, with simulation work ahead of clinical rotations at the university hospital and other metro-area facilities. Graduates are prepared to sit for the NCLEX-RN. The bi-state Kansas City market gives students exposure to academic, safety-net, and community settings within a short radius.

A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
