Terminal project
Coursework in this specialization prepares the student with the theory preparation for the national certification examination.
Retention
Scholarship appropriate for students in a School of Nursing graduate program is demonstrated through satisfactory completion of coursework, defined as obtaining a course grade of A or B. Students who obtain a course grade of D or F in a graduate nursing specialization are withdrawn from the graduate program without the option of repeating the course. Students may only earn one course grade of C and stay enrolled in graduate nursing programs. If a second course grade of C is earned, students are automatically removed from the graduate nursing program, regardless of the cumulative GPA. Repeating a course in which there is originally a grade of C does not eliminate the original course grade of C from being applied toward this exclusion policy.
Exit Requirements
Master's Terminal Project (Master’s and Post-Master’s Students)
Master's students in the School of Nursing demonstrate synthesis of their coursework, practicum experiences and attainment of the master's student outcomes by creating a rigorous, scholarly, evidence-based project that incorporates a broad review of the literature from nursing and related fields, and present the project orally to students and faculty during the final synthesis course for the specialization.
