Program Description

Education at the master’s level prepares graduates to assume leadership roles in clinical practice, nursing administration, and nursing education. Advanced nursing practice graduates are prepared for entry into the Doctoral of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. All graduates are prepared for higher education in the Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (Ph.D.) program.

Students pursuing the MSN will choose from one of six clinical tracks. Most programs offer courses both online and face-to-face, allowing students flexibility with their busy schedules while maintaining a dynamic class experience that includes in-class time to demonstrate skills, dialogue with colleagues, and receive mentorship and guidance from our highly regarded and recognized faculty. The curriculum structure depends on the clinical concentration the student selects.

Graduates of the advanced practice degrees are eligible to take national certification exams and eligible for licensure as an Advanced Practice Nurse in Texas. Other states' requirements vary, and graduates should check individual state requirements before applying for an advanced practice status or license.
