Program Description

The Nurse Educator track focuses on the development of the nursing professional who can integrate enhanced leadership skills with nursing education in the academic or service setting, to formulate a professional commitment to learning and to contribute to quality improvement. Faculty shortages at nursing schools across the country are limiting student capacity at a time when the need for nurses continues to grow. Budget constraints, an aging faculty, and increasing job competition from the service setting have contributed to this emerging crisis.

Completion of this program would support eligibility requirements necessary to apply for certification with the National League for Nursing (NLN) as a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE).
