Degree Programs

We offer accredited degree pathways for both aspiring midwives and established professionals.

Undergraduate Student Application

The BSM program provides the essential foundation for those seeking a career in community midwifery. Meeting—and exceeding—the comprehensive standards of the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC), the BSM focuses on building expert technical skills, clinical competency, evidence-informed practice, and critical thinking.

  • For New Students: The BSM provides the preparation needed to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), which is the national credential provided by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM).
  • For Current CPMs: Our CPM-to-BSM track recognizes prior learning and professional experience, offering an accredited degree that expands professional knowledge, strengthens leadership, increases educational opportunities, and provides a pathway to licensure in some states.

 

Please use the following application to apply for the Bachelor of Science in Midwifery program and teh CPM-to-BSM program for those who already hold a CPM credential:
