Step Two – Apply to the Nursing Program
Once you complete a graduate application, our admissions staff will provide you with additional information to complete your application to the MSN program. Applications for admission are then received in the Nursing office and reviewed. Nursing faculty utilize an admission process procedure when reviewing all applications for the MSN program.
Admission to Midway’s MSN program is selective. Applicants must have an ADN or BSN degree from a CCNE or ACEN accredited program whose parent institution is regionally accredited. Students must hold a current and unencumbered registered nurse (RN) license in the United States.
Please review our full list of admission and program criteria prior to applying.

All courses are 100% online (except practicum) which allows working nurses the most flexibility to work on their own schedule. The student will arrange a suitable practicum with faculty approval. The practicum can be completed where the student lives.
Students have the option to start five times throughout the year-January, March, June, August or October.

As an online graduate student at Midway University, paying for graduate school can be stressful. There are a few financial options that you have at Midway and we want to remind you to check these options:
- Federal Loans are available to graduate students - when you apply through FAFSA. The loans graduate students can apply for are unsubsidized student loans, and Federal Graduate PLUS Loans.
- Private Loans are available through your banking institution. Keep in mind that the repayment of this is different than the Federal loan programs.
- Payment Plans are available through Midway University’s partnership with a payment plan provider. Information available from Midway University Business Office 859.846.5402. Payment plans are available so that you can pay, just like a car payment, a specific amount monthly to pay your graduate school tuition and fees.
- Employer Tuition Reimbursement - If you are employed, make sure you check with your human resource office to see if you are eligible for tuition assistance or tuition reimbursement.
Midway University does offer a 10-15% discount in tuition for specific employers who are part of our business advantage partnership. If you are interested in finding out how to become a business advantage partner, please call 859.846.6248.
If you have questions about any of the above financial options, please contact your Admissions Counselor or call 859.846.5819. Or visit Financial Aid page for more details.
