Seattle University is being sued by four nursing students for allegedly offering a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree they were not accredited to offer.

Three of the four students involved in the lawsuit are former students, and one of the students is currently a student enrolled in the Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion (APNI) to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at Seattle University College of Nursing.

The APNI to DNP program is for non-nurses who would like to earn a DNP. The program takes four calendar years to complete. Upon successful completion, the student will earn a DNP.
