Submatriculation
  • Nursing students interested in a specific area of graduate study in one of the School of Nursing's 17 master’s programs may begin graduate study while earning their undergraduate degree. By making application to the graduate program of choice as early as the junior year, students may begin taking master’s level courses which will earn credit toward both degrees.
     
  • Through the School of Nursing and the Penn Law School submatriculation program, qualified nursing undergraduates submatriculating into the University of Pennsylvania School of Law can complete their requirements for both the BSN and the Juris Doctor (JD) degrees in six years instead of the usual seven. Nursing students interested in the program are expected to take the LSAT examination and apply for admission to the Law School in their junior year. Admitted students begin taking courses in the Law School during their fourth year at Penn. A health care background combined with legal expertise is essential in health care litigation and malpractice suits that are commonplace today. For individuals who can see themselves filling these roles, the combination of Penn Nursing and Penn Law has no match.
