Program Description
The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is designed for registered nurses who want to broaden their theoretical and practical knowledge base in preparation for a leadership role or doctoral study. As a learner at the master’s level, you will develop, test and evaluate ideas relevant to advanced practice nursing. You will also critically examine concepts and theories in relation to health issues, initiate nursing research, and practice nursing in multiple dynamic roles. Through the MSN program, learners develop leadership skills and an understanding of the dynamic health care environment. Learn how to recommend constructive change and systematize ethical, moral, spiritual and professional concepts into advanced nursing roles.
Learners interact with multidisciplinary representatives in multiple practice settings to explore collaborative best practices. Achieve further role development through extensive sharing of professional experiences in discussion and writing assignments.
