Nursing programs at Augsburg University
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at these levels: bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN), master’s degree in nursing (MSN), and doctoral degree in nursing (DNP). In the most recent reporting year, the school reported about 26 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates, about 9 master’s-level nursing graduates, and about 23 doctoral-level nursing graduates. A bachelor’s program is the traditional four-year route to RN licensure and the usual starting point for later graduate study; see our ADN vs. BSN guide if you are still deciding on a degree level. Graduate options (MSN and DNP) are aimed at licensed nurses moving into advanced practice, leadership, or teaching. That is a relatively small annual graduating class, so ask how many seats open each year.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $46,800 a year. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $23,400 a year. About 62% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those bachelor’s-level nursing graduates at roughly $85,200 one year after finishing and $93,000 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 55% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 72% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 82% overall), but that does not mean a nursing seat is guaranteed. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. To work as a nurse in Minnesota, graduates apply for a license with the state board of nursing in Minnesota and pass the NCLEX. Before you commit, verify the program’s ACEN or CCNE accreditation and state approval, and compare it with other options on our Minnesota nursing schools page.
