Master of Science in Nursing

Mastering the dynamic world of health care, practice and leadership

The Master of Science in Nursing  prepares registered professional nurses for practice in education, nursing administration, or as a Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL). The graduate program assumes a foundation of concepts and skills acquired in undergraduate programs in nursing.  Role options include the Clinical Nurse Leader, administrator, educator or dual educator/administrator.  Most of these roles are enacted in health systems to promote and support quality care, with educators working in both clinical and academic settings. This concentration prepares nurse leaders to work with teams and transform systems in clinical and academic settings, as well as in the communities served by those organizations.

The Registered Nurse to Master of Science in Nursing program provides the opportunity to be admitted to the Master of Science in Nursing program without a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. (Some Bachelor of Science in Nursing courses required.)

Accreditation

The Nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education which is affiliated with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
