RN-MSN Program

Nursing Education

The education concentration provides theory and practice, which builds upon the knowledge and experiences students bring to the curriculum and facilitates the further development of skills in the art of teaching nursing. The teaching role option offers the choice of focusing on adult education (staff development and/or continuing education in a health care agency) or higher education (teaching nursing students in a degree-granting institution).

The education sequence includes two educational theory courses offered in the School of Education in the College of Arts and Sciences and two education seminars and practicum courses offered in the School of Nursing. The education concentration prepares the student to continue graduate study at the Doctorate level.
