Montclair State University Prelicensure MSN - 2025

Published

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hi! I'm starting a new discussion board for people who are interested in applying and/or are accepted into this year's cohort for the Montclair State Prelicensure MSN program. I just submitted my application to the program yesterday. I used to attend the school as a Public Health major and graduate early so I could work as a PCT as well as focus on my last prereq courses. If any current students have any information about the program, please add it below as well because I haven't been able to get much information about it from a nursing student's perspective.

Hi! I'm hoping to start in the 2026 cohort. Can anyone on this thread tell me how's the program going? Is the workload intense? Is it a chill or high stress environment? Any notes would be appreciated. Thank you 😃

Hi! I started the program this past year in 2025! Right now I'm in my third semester in the program during the Winter, and will be starting my fourth next month. So far, it's definitely been a fast paced program. As far as stress, it's different for everyone but time management helps a lot. The workload grows as you move through each semester, but over time you kind of get a feel for how to manage it. I've made a lot of great friends along the way, amd would recommend finding a few people to create study groups. It's tough but definitely possible to do! And all of the professors have been amazingly supportive and knowledgeable in their areas. Hopefully we will cross paths and meet in person!

It's nice to virtually meet you! Thanks so much for sharing the tips and information. Fingers crossed that I get accepted, maybe then we'll be able to meet! I'm wishing you the best of luck on finishing the program. When is your cohort expected to be finished?

We finish in May 2027, so after this Spring we have one year left!
