I haven't heard anything from Penn about coming off the waitlist .

Congratulations! I got waitlisted ?

I received my interview invite! Good luck everyone!

They said it's not guaranteed, but all new programs have to graduate at least one class before accreditation can be granted. Since this program has replaced their ABSN, and all other existing programs hold accreditation I have a high level of confidence that the MPN will meet the required standards. I do agree that this is a valid concern, as it's not guaranteed.

I wanted to comment on the accreditation topic. I went to their in person open house last month and this question came up. They did state that the first class is graduating this December and the accreditation board was visiting the school this month. Penn has since updated there website to note that the MPN program is approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. I'm not considered that they won't receive accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

That's great news! I submitted my application the day before the priority deadline and I'm still waiting to hear back!

Hello, I'm creating this group for UPenn's MPN Fall 2026 program. Good luck all!

Eastern university in Pennsylvania just announced that they will be starting a direct entry, masters in nursing degree. The first cohort starts Fall 2026 and you'll obtain the following in 2 years. RN license (obtained externally through the state) Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Anyone interested in applying or has applied and heard anything at this point?

I wish they would have advertised this program on their website. The structure would have worked perfect for me. Good luck all those accepted! If you hear anything about the next application cycle please share!
