1 GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM CURRICULUM DEPARTMENT: Advanced Nursing Studies FORM COMPLETED BY: Julie Ossege ADDRESS: SECTION 1: Graduate Degree Program Core Curriculum Academic Degree Program: Master of Science in Nursing of Required for Program (includes all semester hours required to complete the program, i.e. Integrative Studies 42 semester hours): It varies MSN- NI=41 MSN NEL = 38 MSN EDUCATION = 43 MSN FNP = 49 MSN ANP =46 MSN PNP= 44 MSN ACUTE CARE NP =46 Is the Program an Interdisciplinary Program? If yes, click in the following box Step 1 - List Program Core Courses in Table 1: Core is defined as a set of disciplinespecific courses required for all students in the degree program. The core must constitute at least 50% of all coursework in the program. For example, if the program requires 30 total hours, then at least 15 hours must be discipline-specific courses (the core). Core courses can be a choice of one of two or two of three but no other course options are permitted for the core. Core courses (discipline-specific) in a specialization or concentration can be added to program core to calculate the 50% program requirement. All courses required to complete a specialization or concentration should be listed in Section 2 tables. Table 1: Program Core Curriculum MSN/PRIMARY CARE NURSE PRACTITIONER
