The School of Nursing & Health Studies offers six programs of study leading to the M.S. degree in Nursing, fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The advanced practice nursing curriculum emphasizes the development of professional roles in the specialties of acute care nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist (acute care and critical care), family nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist, nursing educator, and nurse-midwife. Advanced professional roles may be developed as acute care or primary care providers. Clinical practice excellence is based on scientific inquiry and advanced knowledge in nursing practice. The school also offers a Direct Entry to Advanced Practice program for applicants with Baccalaureate degrees in fields other than nursing that combines the Second Degree BSN program with a graduate Nursing specialty. Post-master's degree options are also offered.
