The MSN degree is a 36 credit hour (semester) program. It is designed to
prepare Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduates as expert teachers and
leaders in higher education, continuing education, educational staff
development or patient education. The MSN program can be completed in four
semesters and is delivered in a hybrid format (includes both on-campus meetings
and web-based enhancements). The program is offered on both a full-time and
part-time basis.
MSN program benefits and special features
Includes both on-campus meetings with
web-based enhancements and independent study. Within this design, a bond emerges that
extends beyond the classroom for busy Registered Nurses.
- Academic Integrity course
Because College of Saint Mary is an institution committed to the
works, values and aspirations of the Sisters of Mercy, a unique course, Academic
Integrity, is integral to the MSN program. The ethical issues that surround
an academic career are explored.
- Evidenced-based curriculum
Evidenced-based literature is an essential component of the MSN
program. Access to the literature may be conducted online utilizing electronic
library resources. As always, the library serves as a repository of important
documents to be used in research efforts.
MSN students are encouraged to creatively think about academic
and educational concepts and issues.
All full-time faculty members have earned a terminal degree
(e.g. Ph.D., Ed. D., J.D.) within their area of expertise.
In accordance with Title IX of
the Education Act Amendments of 1972, College
of Saint Mary admits women and men into all post-baccalaureate
programs, including graduate programs. All students, regardless of gender, are
given the same levels of support, guidance and education that have
distinguished CSM's all-women's undergraduate
programs
