The Master of Nursing Program prepares RNs for advanced practice. The core curriculum includes scholarly inquiry, health systems, health policy, diversity, and social issues related to health.
Students pursue scholarly inquiry by completing a project or thesis.
The curriculum has a strong emphasis on mentoring, both in terms of fieldwork placements and with the faculty. While it is possible to enroll during any quarter, beginning in the Autumn Quarter is best for course sequencing. Competently assess and manage health-related issues within a defined population or care system, and evaluate the effectiveness of these advanced nursing practices. Utilize knowledge and skills in professional practice among diverse and multicultural populations. Demonstrate competence in development of inquiry relevant to practice, education or administration.
