Preparing Tomorrow’s Nursing Professors
Drexel University Online’s Master's in Nursing Education and Faculty program specifically prepares nurses to work as educators and faculty for nursing programs at all education levels. This degree has a distinct focus on preparing students with the required competencies to successfully pass the new Certified Nursing Educator exam.
With such a severe and critical nursing faculty shortage in the United States and abroad, Drexel’s exclusively-online MSN degree provides students with the essential skills and expertise for contemporary nursing educators.
This exemplary program is offered by Drexel’s nationally-ranked College of Nursing and Health Professionals (CNHP) and integrates theories specific to:
- Adult learning
- Curriculum design and evaluation of courses and programs
- Critical thinking
- Clinical and classroom techniques
- Preparation for the role of the nursing professor.
The Nursing Education and Faculty MSN online program instructs students how to teach either in the classroom or via online modules and to utilize new and innovative technologies in both environments to educate tomorrow’s nurses. Students complete two role practicum experiences in teaching, providing ample opportunity to apply theory to practice.
