Description of programs
There are three routes offered for completing the MN: a thesis option, a non-thesis option and a nurse practitioner option. All routes require two years to complete when taken on a full-time basis, but may be taken part time study.
The MN-NP program is based on the belief that advanced practice in nursing requires graduate level preparation. The major thrust of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) role has been to build on a foundation of graduate nursing education.
The role of the NP in advanced nursing practice is grounded in knowledge of theory and expanded practice skills in areas of advanced clinical decision-making, research, consultation/collaboration and leadership. Nurse practitioners have advanced knowledge and decision-making skills in health assessment, diagnosis, and health care management of common and complex conditions.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Nursing is offered in areas reflective of the strength and expertise of current faculty members in the School of Nursing. All candidates will be required to attend as full-time students during the first six semesters (two academic years) of the program. Program curriculum consists of six courses, two internships, graduate seminars, and a dissertation.
