Welcome to MSMC's Department of Nursing

Mount St. Mary’s College (MSMC) is a dual campus Catholic college that specializes in a value-based, liberal arts and sciences education. MSMC was the first college in California to provide a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) beginning in 1952 and continues to be a leader in nursing education. Our students are encouraged to explore ideas and define their values to better lead and serve their communities.

MSMC offers four programs: Associate of Arts Degree in Nursing (A.D.N.), Traditional and Accelerated Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN), and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). Each of these programs is growing to meet the needs of the current nursing shortage and continues to have a large number of qualified applicants eager to begin or continue their education.

The Nursing Department recently renovated and expanded our Nursing Skills Labs at both the Chalon and Doheny campuses with the support of UniHealth Grant funding. These labs allow students to learn patient care skills and techniques in a simulated patient care setting that matches the complex technology present in today's hospital environment. The MSMC nursing faculty are outstanding educators and practitioners who are focused on helping each student become the best nurse they can be. Partnering clinical agencies welcome our students during their training and many graduates become employed at these healthcare sites immediately upon graduation. I invite you to explore this website to learn more about our programs and to see what you need to do to begin or continue your nursing education at MSMC.
