Course Overview

As a graduate of Herzing University's MSN in Nursing Education program, you'll be qualified to work in various educational settings, from university classrooms to medical centers. In addition, you may find nursing education career opportunities in hospitals, private practice, and several nursing-related positions in multiple workplaces.

There are many different types of nurse educators under two broad categories: a clinical setting, in which you train students directly in real-life patient care situations, and an academic setting, such as a college or university. The goal is to prepare nursing students for the transition from school to a professional work setting.

General Eligibility

Additional Information

The MSN in Nursing Education degree is a 36-credit graduate program that prepares BSN nurses for a career as nurse educators. The degree program provides students with fundamental knowledge and skills in teaching/learning strategies, curriculum development, theoretical foundations for nursing, and more. Advance your nursing career to a role as a nurse educator and begin training the next generation of nurses. As a nurse educator, you can potentially help satisfy a national shortage of nurse educators. Nearly half of all generic bachelor’s level nursing programs in the U.S. rejected qualified applicants in 2020 because of a lack of faculty, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). The BLS projects a 22% growth in the employment of nursing instructors and teachers from 2020-2030, well above the national average. Go from BSN to Master of Science in Nursing - Nursing Education and position yourself for a big step forward in your career.
