Overview

The curriculum of the Nursing Education track from Villanova University prepares nurses to assume leadership roles as dynamic educators in academia, as clinical faculty, staff development, continuing education, and community education programs.

Nurses who progress in this MSN track to the PhD program may find their course of study expedited.

Key Features

The Nursing Education track prepares strong clinical nurses as educators and leaders to teach students mainly in the clinical or community setting; however, students receive instruction in classroom teaching and higher education, as well for those who wish to pursue the academic educator role.

The curriculum offers advanced theoretical content, an education practicum, and simulation experiences through online courses, an on-site practicum, and an on-campus summer simulation intensive.

Students focus on an area of clinical interest for the practicum, such as: adult-gerontology, parent-child health, community health, psychiatric/mental health, parent-child health, obstetrics/women’s health or pediatrics. As students develop in the role, they will learn about curricula, design learning experiences, and teach with expert faculty using evidence-based strategies and research.

Students will be precepted by an expert nurse educator in a clinical setting during the practicum, or if the student prefers an academic setting, there will be an opportunity to develop in that role, as well. Some courses from this track may be accepted in a future program of study.
