Graduate Program
The purpose of the doctoral program at ETSU is to prepare you as expert practitioners and nurse scientists who will conduct applied clinical research and provide leadership in the health care delivery system. The College of Nursing hosts a strong cadre of faculty involved in clinical practice and clinical research. We are nationally known for our work in interdisciplinary education and nurse managed care. We are eager to recruit well-qualified applicants whose research interests and career goals match the strengths of our program. Full or part-time study is available. Excellent financial assistance is available for students who are pursuing the program on a full-time basis (nine credit hours per semester).
The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree program is to prepare nurses for advanced practice and entry into specialization. The focus of the graduate program is on the delivery of nursing care to rural and under served clients across the life span. Curricula are available to prepare you as Nurse Administrators, or Family, Adult, Gerontological, or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners. Students who complete course requirements for the nurse practitioner specialties are qualified to take a national certification examination. The program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
