Nursing Administration Program
MISSION OF THE PROGRAM
The Master of Science in Nursing is a 36-credit program designed to develop nurses into leaders with advanced knowledge, humanistic values, and the ability to contribute to the changing, diverse health care environment. Advanced practice roles in nursing require further enhancement of critical thinking and decision-making skills as theory is translated into practice. The program provides individuals with the opportunity to pursue professional development within a scholarly environment.
The courses in the Nursing Administration concentration area focus on health care policy, nursing delivery systems, resource management, and program evaluation, while business courses provide the administrative foundation and opportunities for collaboration with students from other disciplines.
