Nursing Leadership & Management (Diploma/ADN to MSN)

This program of study is designed to allow nurses who have completed a diploma or associate degree, and are licensed as registered nurses, to advance their nursing education. Students begin the program with two foundational courses before moving to master’s level courses. In today’s healthcare environment nurse leaders, both executive and managerial, need a broad background in nursing and business concepts. Emphasis of this content is placed within the context of advanced nursing practice in healthcare. This program provides the student with the opportunity to identify and partner with a healthcare organization and nursing leader to participate in a clinical experience.

The capstone seminar, a service project, is designed to guide students in the integration of nursing and management theory with a practical application.
