Masters - Post-Masters Education Track

The post-master education program is designed to prepare academic nurse educators and professional staff development educators. The current critical shortage of nurse educators has resulted in an abundance of career opportunities nationwide. The post-masters program of study is 14 credit hours including content and practice in both academic nursing education and professional staff development. The program also includes 256 hours of required teaching practicum activities that are included in two of the nursing education specialty courses.
