The demand for nursing professionals is increasing with the growing emphasis on preventive care, the rise in chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity, and the needs of the active baby-boom generation as its members age. The nursing M.S. at UNH will help you advance your career while ensuring the delivery of safe, cost-effective, quality healthcare. We offer three tracks in the Master of Nursing degree program, each preparing you for work that meets your interests and professional goals: clinical nurse leader (CNL), evidence-based nursing (EBN) and family nurse practitioner (FNP). Our clinical nursing practice tracks are designed to be completed in three to four semesters of full-time study, including one summer. Individual plans of study also are available for those wishing to pursue part-time study. As a graduate of the clinical nurse leader or family nurse practitioner program, you'll be eligible to sit for the national CNL or FNP exams. The evidence-based nursing track will prepare you for advanced generalist nursing practice, with emphasis on leadership, the cultural, social and political context of health and illness, and quality improvement methodologies.
