Family Nurse Practitioner Emphasis

We are no longer accepting applications for the MSN FNP emphasis.  The College of Nursing transitioned to the BSN to DNP with FNP specialization.

Clinical Nurse Leader Emphasis

The College of Nursing's MSN Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) emphasis prepares nurses for leadership roles in healthcare.  CNLs oversee the care coordination of a distinct group of patients, actively provide direct patient care in complex situations, evaluate patient outcomes, and have decision-making authority to change care plans when necessary.

The 37-credit CNL emphasis is offered in a 2-year full-time or 3-year part-time plan of study.

The 37-credit NE emphasis is offered in a 2-year full-time or 3-year part-time plan of study.
