Clinical courses require approximately three weekends per semester at the Columbia campus. Nurses applying for the post-master's certificate must have a Master of Science in Nursing from an accredited program. Master's degree candidates take courses that build a strong theoretical framework on which to base clinical practice. The student also must complete a research project, practicum or thesis. For those nurses who already have a master's degree, an individualized plan is developed for the post-master's area of study.
Studies build upon the knowledge and skills of the master's program.
Credit for courses taken in the master's program will transfer into the post-master's area of study. Statistics A variety of electives are also available through independent study. Clinical practice sites are located throughout Missouri and neighboring states. Clinical sites are designed to provide a well-rounded look at practices that complement and extend the student's knowledge and skills. Educational fees and computer fees are subject to change.
