Program Description:

The Department of Nursing emphasizes quality teaching complemented by scholarly and creative expression, clinical expertise, community service, and service to the nursing profession. Faculty are dedicated to the development of professionals who enrich the nursing profession by responding flexibly and creatively to societal and workplace issues. Graduates of the master's degree program increase their professional expertise by a focus in a specialty area and more depth in scholarship. The program has three areas of focus: Public Heath Nursing, Nursing Education, and Nursing Management.

We are committed to making it easier for working nurses to pursue advanced study on a part-time basis.
