Graduate Nursing

With seven comprehensive master's tracks and a doctorate of nursing practice degree planned to begin May 2011, the University of Indianapolis School of Nursing can help you meet the challenges of today's complex health care environment while making a positive impact on the health of our society.

Part-time and full-time programs help meet the needs of the working professional.  Courses help you advance your career by teaching the skills needed to work independently and collaboratively with other professionals in a variety of settings. 

Our smaller class sizes allow you more individual attention from our distinguished faculty with real-world experience.  We also offer on-line and on-campus certificate programs to enhance specialty skills which often lead to increased job opportunities and work satisfaction.

Our smaller class sizes also mean that we can offer you innovative programs with a flexible approach.  This flexibility can be seen in the high level of Web enhancement of our classes, which provides you a wider range of educational and professional resources than smaller universities traditionally offer. 

Faculty role model the depth and breadth of the advanced practice nursing role through research, clinical practice, leadership and educational activities.  They engage students in projects within classroom and community settings as part of the service learning mission of the university.  Students are able to work side-by-side with faculty on scholarly endeavors and in clinical practice.

The University of Indianapolis School of Nursing faculty have excellent reputations in the health care community at local, state and national levels and make themselves available to students without the red tape of teaching assistants and limited office hours.

MSN track options
And if you're looking for that little something extra, most of MSN tracks have post-master's degree options.  The number of course hours required varies based on previous program work.

The Graduate Nursing Program is nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.  The last accreditation visit was in 2003 and the next one will be October 2013.  The program received accreditation stats from the American College of Nurse Midwives in 2006.
