The Graduate Entry Program in Nursing (GEPN) is a two-part program for applicants without previous
nursing preparation who have a baccalaureate degree in a non-nursing field and who wish to earn a
graduate nursing degree. GEPN combines the philosophy, purpose and objectives of the
BSN and nursing graduate programs.
The first five quarters of GEPN prepare students as general clinical practitioners, eligible to sit for
the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered
Nurses (NCLEX) in order to obtain Washington State RN licensure. The graduate portion of the program
varies in length depending on the degree program and the specialty selected.
Master of Nursing (GEPN-M)
Master of Science in Nursing (GEPN-S)
Doctor of Nursing Practice (GEPN-D)
Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing Science (GEPN-P)
The PhD in Nursing Science is a research-based degree program. Individual
students create their own program of study based on their research interests and available faculty support.
PhD in Nursing Science
After you have successfully completed the 5-quarter pre-RN portion of GEPN (currently Master of Nursing
track only), you may be interested in applying to the concurrent Master of
Nursing/Master of Public Health degree.
