Description:

Master of Nursing programs prepare nurses for advanced practice in focused areas that may include direct clinical practice, education, or health policy/leadership.

The driver for choosing these streams includes increased prevalence of chronic illness, an aging population, workforce demands and a shortage of prepared faculty members in academia. Graduates will contribute to the transfer of new knowledge and skills to improve patient outcomes and develop strengthened leadership capacity to expand and evaluate practice. Course-based students have a total of six years to complete the program.
