The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program curriculum provides students with an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that support advanced nursing practice and role development.

Knowledge of the arts, sciences, humanities, and professional nursing practice are used as a base for the program. The curriculum is logically organized according to a framework that focuses on progressively more complex and advanced nursing practice. The program of study is built around core courses branching into three areas of specialization: nursing administration (with a focus on nursing education, long-term care [LTC] administration, or acute care administration), nursing education, and primary care nurse practitioner (with specialty areas in family, adult, pediatric, or geriatric).

The goal of the master’s program in nursing is to prepare professional nurses equipped to assume advanced leadership and clinical positions in today’s dynamic and changing health-care delivery system. Graduates are awarded the Master of Science in Nursing.

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is accredited by National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC), 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, 212-363-5555.

The MSN program is available as an online program. We are offering classes both online and face/face. Online MSN students in the NP program will have a clinical evaluation in the Greater Cincinnati area at least one time during each clinical experience or will bear the expense of having the clinical faculty visit them in their home clinical site.

STA 614 statistics will not be offered in web based format. These courses can be taken at a university near you or online and transferred into NKU, as long as you earn B or higher. You must send the course description to Dr. Denise Robinson for approval prior to taking the course. If you live close to NKU, you can take these classes on campus.
