ACADEMICS - Transformational Leadership and Management Requirements
The Transformational Leadership and Management track unites the
liberal arts with nursing science and practice. This track develops
nurse leaders who are analytical, articulate, and constructively
critical and who will be able to cope with high-level healthcare
delivery issues.
Curricular emphasis is on interdisciplinary collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica and classroom dialogue provides opportunities for students to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health care inequities in creative and relevant ways.
Specialty electives build on students’ competencies and goals. Courses are offered by the Department of Nursing faculty as well as faculty teaching in the Master of Arts in Leadership and Master of Business Administration programs.
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 Transformational Leadership and Management Track.
