MSN/MPH

Master of Science in Nursing
Master of Public Health

The MSN/MPH education program is a collaborative effort of The University of Texas at Arlington School of Nursing (UTASON) and the University of North Texas (UNT) in Fort Worth. The program prepares advanced practice nurses for leadership positions in public health and population-focused care. The coordinated curriculum on each campus is designed to meet requirements for the MSN degree and the MPH degree. Students earn both degrees with fewer credits than would otherwise be required for two separate degrees. The coordinated curriculum includes nursing core and administration courses and public health core courses.

Objective:
Ability to assume leadership in a variety of health-related arenas such as hospitals, community clinics, consulting firms, long term care organizations and government agencies advising relative to public policy issues.

Degree Program:
The MSN is completed through the UTASON Nursing Administration program.
