A Higher Degree of Nursing
Today's health care environment has created a necessity
for master's prepared nurses, functioning independently and collaboratively by
providing primary care and directing, supervising or educating others in the
delivery of care. The Clarkson College Master of Science in Nursing program has
a higher degree of excellence-providing you with the skills that will prepare
you for success.
A
Higher Degree of Choice in Majors
The MSN program allows you to choose from four majors
including Nursing Health Care Leadership, Nursing Education, Adult Nurse
Practitioner or Family Nurse Practitioner. Learn the theories and skills
necessary to be an executive in middle and upper management or learn
specialized content related to curriculum design, teaching methodologies, and
evaluation. As a graduate of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) program, you will be
able to provide primary health care in family practice settings or other health
care settings. After successful completion of the NP program, you will be
eligible to sit for NP certification examinations.
A Higher Degree of Convenience
If your lifestyle makes it difficult to pursue your
educational goals, we offer an online education program to complete an MSN or
certificate on your own terms through Internet access and one-on-one work with
faculty.
Please Note: Though the MSN program may be taken online, all
students are required to come to campus for an initial orientation and then
later in the program to defend their thesis or to complete comprehensive
examinations. In addition, Nurse Practitioner students are required to attend
on-campus activities one weekend a semester while registered in the five clinical
courses. Contact the Department of Graduate Nursing for current details.
