M.S. in Nursing: Nurse Educator

Program Overview
Our Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program provides registered nurses (RNs) with the skills to assume leadership roles in their respective organizations. The nurse practitioner (NP) concentration prepares RNs to sit for the concentration certification exam. The certifying agency determines eligibility for the exam.
The Nurse Educator concentration is timely essential to address many of today's pressing needs in the healthcare arena. All nurses are educators, however, not all nurses are prepared as educators. This concentration will provide the healthcare environment with nurses who understand teaching learning principles, curriculum design and evaluation methods. With an MSN as a Nurse Educator, you can remain at bedside, become a staff educator, become a leader in your chosen area of expertise and/or teach nursing to future nurses.
Our Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is offered in a hybrid format with a combination of fully online courses, face to face classes, and clinical experiences. At the completion of the MSN program, the graduate will have completed clinical hours as determined by the accrediting body in the area of the Nurse Practioner track.
All applicants to the Master of Science in Nursing program will complete seven core graduate level courses. Admission to the concentration will only occur after application review by the coordinator. Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in all Master of Science in Nursing core courses in order to be considered by the Department of Nursing to move into the Nurse Practitioner Concentration Track.
