Master of Science in Nursing
This NLNAC-accredited Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is designed for baccalaureate prepared registered nurses. It provides students with advanced nursing knowledge through theory and research.
The MSN program prepares graduates for advanced nursing practice in today's dynamic health care environment. The 39-semester credit curriculum (with a 60-hour clinical practicum) is reality based, application oriented, and develops essential skills in leadership.
Admission requires you to have a valid current U.S. RN license and demonstrate three years full-time RN work experience. You must also hold a BSN degree or baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Additional requirements must be met prior to official admission. RNs with a bachelor's degree in an area other than nursing have the opportunity to earn a MSN degree through our RN to MSN Bridge Program. With this program, RNs can complete three courses at the BSN level and then move directly into the Master of Science in Nursing curriculum.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the Master of Science in Nursing Programs are accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (61 Broadway 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10006; (800) 669-9656, (212) 363-5555).Request Information | Back to top
Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Business Administration/Health Care Management
The MSN/MBA/HCM program is designed to provide nurses with a unique blend of advanced nursing and business management skills needed to manage today's innovative health care delivery systems. The program combines essentials from both degree programs to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance and support patient services. The MBA/HCM program emphasizes the identification, analysis, and solution of complex management problems that require technical understanding and balanced decision making. Although a functional knowledge of accounting, finance, and management underlies the program, equal attention is given to the development of report writing, oral reporting, and group process skills.
Students develop additional expertise in the solution of persistent management problems through the completion of an applied management science project, which relates the student's professional interests or responsibilities to the goal of improved managerial functioning. The applied management science project, therefore, serves not only to provide a vehicle for the application of theory to practice, but also serves to demonstrate that MBA/HCM candidate can perform in a variety of sophisticated management roles in a health care environment with the confidence and self-discipline expected of the MBA/HCM program graduate.
The MSN program is designed to develop and enhance the knowledge and skill of registered nurses. It is also designed for those nurses who want to pursue more advanced positions in today's challenging health care environment. The program blends nursing theory with advanced practice concepts necessary to successfully work within the structure, culture, and mission of any size health care organization or educational setting.
The MSN program consists of three major areas: the core, the major, and the cognate. The core incorporates the major foci of a Master of Science in Nursing degree: the theory of Nursing, ethical Nursing issues, and the influence of Nursing research on the advanced practice of Nursing. The major includes advanced course work in Nursing: management of families and aggregates, administration, and education. The cognate is fulfilled through the MBA/HCM program content.Request Information | Back to top
