The Ursuline College Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Leadership Track take selected master’s core courses to enhance clinical reasoning and utilize evidence–based practice, as well as five additional courses focused on leadership development. Through coursework and clinical experiences, students develop the knowledge and skills to become nursing leaders with advanced skills in systems and management. 

The course delivery methods for the MSN Leadership track permit students to take the courses via online learning and as requested, some courses can also be taken with other MSN students in the face-to-face classroom.

Master syllabi have been created for these courses referencing the AACN MSN Essentials as well as the American Nursing Credentialing Centers Nurse Executive, Advanced Board Certification test outline and authoritative texts reference list. The practicum hours required in the curriculum prepare the student for the Nurse Executive exam and enable the student to use those hours when advancing to a Doctor of Nursing Practice Program (DNP). Students who are wishing to continue with their course work to pursue the Ursuline College DNP may take two DNP courses in the MSN Leadership track.
