Registered Nurse to Master of Science in Nursing Education
DIRECTRICES SOBRE LA TRANSFERENCIA DE CRÉDITOS
The purpose of the nursing program is to build upon prior knowledge with new learning. Using both a teaching and outcomes assessment model, this fully online dual degree program provides a flexible means for registered nurses to earn a Bachelor of Science (BSN) in Nursing and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) more efficiently than completing the programs separately.
The Nursing Education specialty focuses on the knowledge and skills required to implement the role of nurse educator in an academic or service setting. The 6-credit Capstone course includes an educational project, an online course, and a project presentation.
A maximum of one hundred and forty-four (144) credits are needed for completion of the Registered Nurse to Master of Science in Nursing Education program.
