Nursing programs at University of Miami
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN), master’s degree in nursing (MSN), and doctoral degree in nursing (DNP). Recent annual completions came to about 245 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates, about 121 master’s-level nursing graduates, and about 46 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.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $65,400 a year. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $36,500 a year. About 18% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the bachelor’s level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $17,500. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those bachelor’s-level nursing graduates at roughly $87,800 one year after finishing and $92,600 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 84% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 94% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
Admission is highly selective: about 19% of applicants were admitted overall, so strong grades and test scores matter before you even reach the nursing application. Nursing programs usually add their own steps, such as prerequisite science courses, an entrance exam, a minimum GPA, and a limited number of seats, so contact the nursing department about current requirements. Our guide on how to get into nursing school walks through the typical process. To work as a nurse in Florida, graduates apply for a license with the Florida 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 Florida nursing schools page.
