The Weber State University Annie Taylor Dee School of Nursing Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program prepares nurse leaders who are capable of shaping and advancing the practice and profession of nursing in a variety of advanced roles (nurse executive, nurse manager, or nurse educator) in healthcare organizations/systems or academic institutions.
The MSN program offers two emphases-the Nurse Executive (30 credits) and the Nurse Educator (33 credits). The program is full-time requiring completion in three (3) continuous, 8-week block semesters. Coursework is delivered 100% online. There is a required 90-hour supervised residency during the last semester of study in the chosen emphasis setting (academic or healthcare setting).
Weber State University offers two post-MSN certificates–the Nurse Executive Certificate (10 credits) and the Nurse Educator Certificate (12 credit). Both certificate programs offer an optional 90-hour (2 credits) supervised residency at the conclusion of their coursework. The programs can be completed in up to two semesters depending on course availability and an optional residency.
Grade Requirements: To earn the MSN degree, candidates must successfully complete all MSN program courses with a grade of “B-” or higher and maintain an overall program GPA of 3.0 or higher.
