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.
