Graduate Nursing Overview

The Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences offers an innovative Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). The MSN has two tracks, ADN to MSN and BSN to MSN. There are two majors: Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) - Adult Health (medical-surgical nursing) and Nursing Education - adult health/gerontology or parent-child nursing.

 

CNS - This 40-hour program prepares advanced practice nurses who work with patients, nursing personnel, and organizations/systems to improve the safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness of care. All didactic course work is offered online. Usually, CNS preceptors near the student's home supervise practicum courses. If no suitable preceptor can be found close to the student's home, concentrated practicum experiences will be offered in the Fort Worth area.
