Nursing Programs at The University of Utah at St. George
Teaching Nursing Master's Program

This country is currently experiencing a severe nursing shortage. One of the most critical issues contributing to this shortage is the limited number of faculty available to educate the highly qualified applicant pool of men and women from across the country who applies to our nursing programs. Nursing education programs in Utah have not been able to meet the growing demand for well-educated nurses because of the shortage of qualified faculty.

The College of Nursing offers a 35 semester hour MS program with emphasis in nursing education for qualified registered nurses who wish to pursue graduate study to prepare themselves as nurse educators. A full-time student can complete the master's program in two academic years. This program of study includes three core nursing courses required of all master's students, five required teaching- nursing courses, four of which contain practicum components, and two general education elective courses. All students have to complete a comprehensive examination as required by the Graduate School of the University of Utah.
