** Applications are no longer being accepted. Curriculum is for currently enrolled students. **
The Nursing Education Minor combines didactic courses and two field-based practica in clinical and academic settings aligned with the student's interest. The online curriculum prepares students to apply instructional theory and research in the following types of educational settings and roles: schools of nursing, health care agency staff development, continuing education departments, advanced practice nursing, and patient and community education agencies. The Nursing Education Minor is available to graduate students enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. The minor involves the completion of a minimum of 10 credits of coursework. Active students, including those in the Nurse Faculty Loan Program, should consult with their respective academic advisor and the coordinator of the Nursing Education Minor to develop their curriculum plan.
Upon completion of the minor, graduates with a valid registered nurse (RN) license may be eligible to take the Certified Nurse Education Exam offered by the National League of Nursing (NLN) (Note: visit the NLN website for eligibility requirements).
