Description of Program


The Master’s Program is grounded in the belief that all advanced practice nurses share a common core of knowledge. Through the foundational core courses, students further develop their ability to integrate theory, research, and practice. Courses within the selected focus of Nurse Administrator, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nurse Educator, Adult Nurse Practitioner, or Family Nurse Practitioner, provide specialized knowledge and practice opportunities in each advanced nursing role. The domains of advanced practice nursing include client health status management; the nurse/client relationship; teaching/coaching; professional roles; managing and negotiating health care delivery systems; and monitoring and ensuring quality of health care practice.
