Nursing Education
Nurture the next generation of nurses.
Just as critical as the nursing shortage is the shortage of qualified nurse educators to train the next generation. Wilkes’ Master’s of Science Program in Nursing Education provides a foundation for doctoral study and continuing professional development.
In addition to core courses, the nursing education core includes study in nursing curriculum development, teaching methodologies and strategies, evaluation and role of the nurse educator, as well as clinical practice in education.
MS students with a concentration in nursing education prepare for careers as nurse educators in practical nursing, associate degree or bachelor’s degree programs; as in-service educators and staff development coordinators; as a staff educator in a hospital, rehabilitation center or public-health or home-health agency; or as a nurse researcher.
