Nursing Education

Educate the next generation of exceptional nurses!

Our flexible master’s program in Nursing Education prepares you for a career as faculty in pre-licensure and baccalaureate programs, as a staff development coordinator, or as an in-service and community educator. It also provides an excellent foundation for doctoral studies. Requiring only 36 credits, our newly revised curriculum allows you to graduate faster than most other Nursing Education programs. Full-time students can graduate in just three semesters!

If you love nursing and have a desire to teach others, this program is for you! Your courses will cover topics in leadership, policy, communication, ethics, diversity, advanced practice, technology, and scholarly inquiry. You’ll also take electives and complete two practicums.

Volunteering for Remote Area Medical

I am so appreciative of the nursing professors at Delhi who taught us how to navigate technology. By being comfortable with the use of video mediums, we have been able to teach our staff how to conduct tele-medicine appointments and reduce their stress and resistance to accepting this new way of treating our patients. I am forever grateful.
