MSN College Graduate Learning Objectives
In support of achieving the Berkeley College mission, six MSN College Graduate Learning Objectives have been identifed. These objectives are designed to strengthen students’ abilities to engage both disciplinary content knowledge and key 21st-century workforce skills. The Master of Science in Nursing curriculum supports Berkeley College’s six MSN College Graduate Learning Objectives.
