Master of Science in Nursing – General Information

The School of Nursing prepares students at the baccalaureate and graduate levels to deliver safe, equitable, and person-centered care within increasingly complex healthcare systems. Baccalaureate graduates develop foundational knowledge across nursing and related disciplines. This preparation establishes the scholarly foundation necessary for advanced graduate nursing education.

The Master of Science in Nursing degree builds upon baccalaureate preparation by advancing students’ clinical reasoning, leadership capabilities, and specialized expertise. Graduate-prepared nurses integrate evidence-based practice, systems thinking, and collaborative partnerships to address evolving population health needs and transform healthcare delivery. The program offers two specialty tracks: Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Nurse Educator (NE). Graduates from each track demonstrate competencies aligned with national certification standards and are prepared to lead interprofessional teams, advocate for health equity, and advance the scholarship of nursing practice.
