Nursing education at the Masters level builds upon baccalaureate nursing preparation. Program courses and content are organized and courses sequenced in a manner that facilitates the progression of student learning from that of a baccalaureate generalist to that of a specialist. 

The curriculum has two dimensions: core and specialization. Core courses are taken by all students and include theory, research, health policy, information management, and advanced pathophysiology or Advanced Physiological Concepts in Health Care I and II for Nurse Anesthesia students. 

Specialization courses are specific to advanced practice within a selected role.
