Nursing Education and Instruction Concentration

The UMMC School of Nursing offers a concentration in Nursing Education and Instruction (NEI) for graduate level programs/tracks, with the exception of the Nurse Educator track. The NEI concentration is a pathway that combines learning theory and evaluation with teaching strategies. This concentration could be used for those who work in nursing staff development or who may want to enable preparation for a faculty role in the future. You will be introduced to concepts in nursing curriculum and evaluation, education, simulation, informatics and scholarship. The MSN with a concentration in Nursing Education and Instruction plans of study comprise these additional courses.

Those pursuing a degree with a concentration in NEI may qualify for NFLP funds.
