Master of Science in Nursing
The Auburn University at Montgomery College of Nursing and Health Sciences offers a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in an online format. In this degree program, you can choose from three areas of specialization to help you meet your career goals: Family Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator for Interprofessional Practice, and Health Systems Leader.
While this MSN program is online, students will come to campus for intensive experiences which will be pre-arranged for activities such as orientation, evaluation, and simulation experiences. Graduates from the MSN program are prepared to sit for the appropriate certification examination.
We are now accepting students for admission.
Family Nurse Practitioner
A family nurse practitioner (FNP) is a registered nurse with a specialized graduate degree in nursing who provides family-focused care to patients ranging from infants to the elderly and every age in between. FNPs treat illness and injuries, and have opportunities to teach people about healthy lifestyle habits and disease prevention. Often, an FNP serves as the primary care provider for families, which means that they will not only diagnose conditions, but also treat them.
Nurse Educator for Interprofessional Practice
When healthcare professionals collaborate and communicate well, patients have better health outcomes. Nurse educators educate healthcare providers and educators, with an emphasis on working in interprofessional teams. This MSN program may be ideal for advancement-minded nurses with a desire to work in staff development, academic nursing education, and patient/family education settings.
Health Systems Leader
Excellent healthcare outcomes require trained leaders at all levels, and with a concentration in Health Systems Leader, you can make a difference in patient lives at the local, national, or global level. This MSN program prepares nurses for management-oriented responsibilities found in job titles such as unit manager, clinical coordinator, or nurse executive. You’ll attend classes online but also have immersive clinical experiences in your own community (in most cases).
