The University of Pennsylvania is a private, four-year Ivy League university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its School of Nursing offers undergraduate and graduate pathways, including traditional BSN study, master’s, DNP, and PhD options, with campus-based learning and some flexible graduate formats. The program emphasizes patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, leadership, health assessment, communication, and clinical judgment.
Students can expect strong clinical preparation through supervised practice, simulation, and access to major Philadelphia healthcare systems. The BSN pathway prepares graduates for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam.

Programs
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.
