The Transcultural Nursing Leadership degree is designed to develop nurse leaders’ ability to critically analyze, articulate, and develop effective strategies to cope with high-level healthcare disparities.
Curricular emphasis is on interprofessional collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practicum in traditional and emerging care settings adds depth and meaning to classroom dialogue. Practicum also provides opportunities for students to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health inequities in creative and relevant ways.
Students in the leadership nursing program will take a total of 33 semester credit hours — eight 3-semester credit hour courses plus 9-semester credits of practicum equal to 405 ‘clock’ hours of practice. Four courses and the related practicum make up the Advanced Nursing Core that all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, with the remaining four courses and practicum focused on transcultural nursing leadership content and skill development.
Students graduating with a Transcultural Nursing Leadership MAN degree are eligible to apply for certification as Advanced Nurse Executives through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), provided they meet the additional requirements of time in a nurse executive position.
