Master of Science in Nursing
Known as the Rhodes-Vanderbilt Liberal Arts-Nursing Four-Two Program, this program allows students to earn a bachelor’s degree at Rhodes and a master’s degree in nursing at Vanderbilt. A prospective nursing student completes all the requirements for a bachelor’s degree at Rhodes College and at the same time fulfills prerequisites for admission into the graduate program of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing. In the senior year at Rhodes, a student applies for admission to the Vanderbilt School of Nursing for study in one of the nursing specialty areas that it offers.
