ACADEMICS - Transcultural Nursing in Community
The
Transcultural Nursing in Community track prepares nurses for advanced
population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities.
The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public health principles,
theory-guided practice, and transcultural care.
This track focuses on reaching populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the program provides rich alternative teaching and learning opportunities locally and internationally. This program prepares nurses to apply for certification in Transcultural Nursing through the International Transcultural Nursing Society. Also, graduates of this track will be eligible to apply to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) certification exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing.
Students will take a total of 10 courses, plus a thesis or graduate project. Three courses form the Advanced Nursing Core, which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, and five additional courses make up the Transcultural Nursing in Community Track.
