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 Education concentration prepare nurses to be health care educators in a variety of contexts that include academic settings, staff development and patient education
