Nursing programs at Middle Georgia State University
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at these levels: associate degree in nursing (ADN), bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN), and master’s degree in nursing (MSN). In the most recent reporting year, the school reported about 53 associate-degree nursing graduates, about 153 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates, and about 14 master’s-level nursing graduates. Offering both associate and bachelor’s pathways under one roof can make it easier to start with an ADN, earn your RN license, and move on to a BSN later; our ADN vs. BSN guide explains how to weigh the two. The MSN option is aimed at licensed nurses moving into advanced practice, leadership, or teaching.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $5,000 a year for in-state students and $16,700 for out-of-state students. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $11,400 a year. About 42% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the bachelor’s level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $14,000. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those bachelor’s-level nursing graduates at roughly $72,700 one year after finishing and $72,300 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 26% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 65% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 100% 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 Georgia, graduates apply for a license with the Georgia Board of Nursing 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 Georgia nursing schools page.
