Graduate Programs and Admissions
Participating in one of our graduate programs will position you as an innovative and expert nurse leader who is ready to advance professional nursing roles in diverse and complex contexts.
Your graduate studies will build knowledge and skills that enable you to identify and explore important questions and issues in nursing practice and health systems, inquire systematically as you gather and generate knowledge, and articulate findings to diverse audiences. You will consider important questions relevant to your workplace, your current and future roles, health outcomes and health system transformation. Whether your career aspirations are related to research, education, leadership or clinical practice, your graduate studies will prepare you for current and emerging nursing roles.
