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.
