The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education has accredited all of Frostburg State University’s Master of Science in Nursing programs, which include four concentrations, family nurse practitioner, psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner, leadership and management, 和教育.
认证 was granted for 10 years, the longest allowable period, and with no compliance concerns.
“These programs are meeting important healthcare needs,” said Dr. Heather Gable, chair of the Department of Nursing. “These concentrations meet areas of shortage in our health care system, especially in our immediate region, and the accreditation is a seal of approval that we have a quality program.”
The nurse practitioner concentrations, 特别是, have a focus on those who wish to work in rural, medically underserved areas, while the education concentration is helping to address the shortage of nursing faculty. The leadership and management concentration prepares nurses to assume leadership in complex healthcare systems.
MSN degree holders must graduate from accredited programs to sit for certification exams or earn admission to doctoral nursing programs.
FSU offers a bachelor of science in nursing completion program as well, which is also CCNE accredited.
Undergraduate and graduate nursing programs have grown significantly since the first BSN program was first accredited in 2011, with 438 undergraduate and 56 graduate students enrolled in the fall of 2019.
The leadership and management 和教育 concentrations are offered fully online, while the nurse practitioner programs are in a blended format. Those courses are primarily online, with on-campus immersion experiences generally twice per semester. All programs can be taken full- or part-time.
