The MSN Nurse Educator Program is for students who hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from a program accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) or Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN; formerly NLNAC), and a regionally accredited institution, or the equivalent bachelor's degree in nursing from a foreign institution. The MSN Nurse Educator Program requires 38 credit hours of coursework that includes a capstone project and educator practice hours in classroom, laboratory, simulation lab, clinical, and online environments. The program can be completed in a full-time or part-time plan of study. Classes are offered in a variety of formats, including face-to-face, online, hybrid, and educator practice.
