•The online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program

Given the current and ongoing nursing workforce shortage, there is an increased demand for minimum master’s prepared nurse educators to educate the developing nursing workforce at technical, undergraduate and graduate levels in academia and to serve as staff development educators in industry. In addition, for healthcare organizations to provide effective leadership and management within the complex and dynamic health care system of today and to secure and maintain Magnet designation, minimum master’s academic preparation of nurse leaders in these organizations is necessary.

The MSN program prepares registered nurses with broad knowledge and practice expertise that builds and expands on baccalaureate nursing generalist practice. Mayville State University offers two MSN tracks focused on the role of the nurse educator and on nursing leadership and management in addition to graduate certificate programs in both track areas. Development of a fuller understanding of the discipline of nursing through mastery of the Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing fosters engagement in higher-level practice and leadership in a variety of practice and academic settings. Promoting a commitment to lifelong learning, graduates seamlessly transition into a research or practice-focused doctoral program.
