Graduates assume leadership roles in the health care system and the discipline of nursing by applying existing knowledge and using a spirit of inquiry to examine and test knowledge. Areas of Concentration include the following: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (this program is not currently accepting new students), Family Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, Nursing Administration \u0026amp; Leadership, and Nurse Educator. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredits the program. The plan of study includes online nursing and related courses according to the requirements for each area of concentration. Part-time and/or full-time plans of study are available. Each student completes a core curriculum in theory, research, statistics, legal, regulatory and policy aspects of advanced nursing practice. Additional courses in the areas of concentration are also required. For students applying to the Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, and Nurse Educator concentrations, documentation of a minimum of 2,080 hours of clinical experience as a Registered Nurse (RN) providing direct patient care must be provided in the admission application. For those candidates in the Neonatal Practitioner Program, a minimum of two years full-time, RN-level practice experience in a level three neonatal intensive care unit is required prior to enrolling in NURS 5369. All Master's programs are delivered fully online.  \r\nNo student may take more than 12 credits in the master's degree as a non-matriculated student. No student may transfer in more than 25% of course credits required for the master's degree plan of study. The M.S. program requires a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above to earn the Master of Science degree in Nursing. Students must earn a \"B\" or better in all graduate courses with a NURS prefix in order to earn credit toward graduation. Graduate students earning a grade of less than a B in any graduate course will have one opportunity to repeat one course, one time. Students will need to discuss the circumstances related to the less than expected level of performance and their plans for success in the repeat of the course with first the faculty of record and then their advisor. Students earning a second course grade of less than a B will be dismissed from the graduate nursing program. A student may only repeat one course with a NURS prefix throughout their graduate study. If a student does not earn a \"C+\" or better on the first try, a collaborative decision between the advisor and the student will determine if a repeat of the course is appropriate. The M.S. program does not require a final comprehensive exam. \r\nNurse Practitioner Required Core Courses: NURS 5012, 5020, 5030, 5035, 5060, 5870. \r\nAdult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Track: NURS 5500, 5550, 5559, 5560, 5562, 5569, 5570, 5579, 5590. \r\nAdult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Track (This program is not currently accepting new students): NURS 5062, 5400, 5405, 5409, 5410, 5419, 5420, 5429, 5470.  \r\nFamily Nurse Practitioner Track: NURS 5062, 5400, 5405, 5409, 5410, 5420, 5430, 5439, 5449, 5470. \r\nNeonatal Nurse Practitioner Track: NURS 5350, 5362, 5365, 5369, 5370, 5375, 5379, 5385, 5389. \r\nNurse Educator and Nursing Administration \u0026amp; Leadership Required Core Courses: NURS 5012, 5020, 5030, 5035, 5235, 5249, 5870. \r\nNurse Educator: NURS 5060, 5062, 5470 or 5590, 5700, 5710, 5720. \r\nNursing Administration \u0026amp; Leadership: NURS 5230, 5240, 5245, 5865. \r\nCredit requirements for each M.S. track: \r\nAdult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner: 45 credits \r\nAdult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner: 45 credits (This program is not currently accepting new students) \r\nFamily Nurse Practitioner: 48 credits \r\nNeonatal Nurse Practitioner: 44 credits \r\nNurse Educator: 39 credits \r\nNursing Administration \u0026amp; Leadership: 33 credits "},"ceterms:recognizedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-b292f406-b76c-4b0d-8eb0-789488e8f80c"],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://bursar.uconn.edu/tuition-fees/graduate/","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:OnlineOnly","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Online Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only via the Internet."}}]}
