Your path to becoming a nurse educator or nurse leader

Getting your Master of Science in nursing from Charleston Southern University offers you the flexibility and support you need to pursue continued education while working. This program offers five-week intensive classes where you are only engaged in one class at a time with no higher level math. Teaching projects and hands-on learning partnerships are provided in order to get firsthand experience in your desired advanced-degree field.

The program offers two tracks, one in nursing leadership and healthcare administration and one in nursing education. Both programs combine nursing knowledge and education with Christian beliefs and practices to make a well-rounded, caring MSN graduate. 

A post-Master’s certificate in nursing education is also offered for nurses who already have a master’s degree in nursing and desire educational preparation in nursing education.
