MSN Nurse-Midwifery Questions

The program takes 2 year (6 terms) to complete, starting in the summer and ending in the spring 2 years later.

We have found the intensity and clinical requirements of the program makes it challenging for students to work full-time while attending the program. Many students reduce their work time with their employers to allow them to keep their benefits.

We understand the financial investment in your education can feel daunting without a full-time salary. We have kept our program costs reasonable and the majority of our students receive some form of grants, scholarships or loans.  Explore our financial aid website and reach out to our Financial Aid Officers to discuss options available to you.

Our program is 55 credits and this includes 934 clinical hours and 116 lab hours total.  The midwifery program works to ensure you have a broad range of clinical experiences to achieve competency.

The application process is easy and varies by program. Visit our application webpage for information on how to apply.

November 1st – admissions considers all verified applications received by the deadline.

Applications are open in the later summer early fall and sometimes again in January.  The midwifery program invites all eligible candidates to participate in an interview day on campus (or virtually) in December.

Deadlines vary. Visit our financial aid webpage for most up to date deadlines.

We have a dedicated team that works to find and secure your clinical placements. Our sites are located throughout the state and many of our dedicated preceptors are program graduates.  Our faculty makes an effort to identify student needs and preferences before assigning clinical sites.

Approximately 2/3 of your clinical rotations will take place outside of Albuquerque. Students are responsible for living and travel costs.

If covering these costs are an issue please reach out to our Financial Aid Officers to discuss options available to you.

Our dedicated team works with the clinical sites and directly with you to ensure all your documents are all up to date. The on-boarding process at different institutions can be complex and we help you to navigate what is needed.
