The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree prepares graduates to provide high quality advanced nursing care to individuals, families, groups and communities. This includes direct care of patients, management of care for individuals and populations, and implementation of health policy. The program consists of a post-baccalaureate master’s degree with a patient population focus of families and individuals across the lifespan (family nurse practitioner). Courses are delivered on a part-time basis, using a low-residency model, which includes online coursework with occasional on-campus visits. Clinical practicum hours may be completed in the student’s community with an approved preceptor. In addition to clinical practicum experiences, students may choose to take elective courses in nursing or other areas of graduate study.
