hi cindyloowho, There are a few other reasons that I am reconsidering the UA Masters Program so this recent critique by zippitydoodah just adds to the evidence. I applied to the accelerated BSN at UA last year and was treated fairly rudely by the admissions staff. Also, the cost of the MSN seems over the top for a 15 month program. I agree with you that there are a lot of people posting on here about their negative experiences and that most of nursing education is about real-life experience. I just don't want to end up in a program that I regret spending the money and time on. I have had too many courses where the 'professor' stands there and reads, word for word, from powerpoint slides; I don't think I could stand that for 15 months and $30K
