Graduate nursing education
builds on a foundation of undergraduate nursing education and
provides an opportunity for professional nurses to develop a
specialty practice that is congruent with an expanding theoretical
and empirical knowledge base. The graduate program in nursing is designed to assist
professional nurses to prepare for advanced clinical and functional
roles that demand increased accountability, expertise, and
leadership. The master's program facilitates the use of the research process through
the course of study and prepares the graduate to be a critical
thinker and a self-directed professional who collaborates with
consumers and other health care providers.
