Nursing Leadership Curriculum
The Nursing Leadership concentration can be completed on a full time or part time basis. Core courses provide a foundation in evidence based practice and research, nursing outcomes, use of technology, and organizational theory. Cognate courses expand that knowledge to include finance, health policy, management of human resources, and leadership development. Students develop critical thinking skills through a virtual hospital, and gain practical experience in a clinical residency with an experienced mentor. Each uniquely designed residency includes access to a wide range of clinical sites, including one of the premier health care systems in the country.
