Clinical Scholars Post-Masters in Nursing

Faculty and staff in the College of Nursing value life-long learning and encourage nurses to continue to grow and develop both clinically and intellectually. Today’s clinical environment often makes it advantageous for nurses to gain formal educational preparation in a new area of specialization in addition to the one on which they focused initially as Masters of Science in Nursing students. The clinical scholars option provides a structured mechanism for nurses already holding advanced degrees in nursing to do this. Students in the Clinical Scholars Post-Masters Option follow a systematic plan of study in a particular specialty track that makes them eligible to practice in an additional clinical specialty area in nursing. Once all courses have been successfully completed, these students may apply to take a national certification exam in the area in which they specialized.
