Academic-Hospital Partnerships

• You’ll receive direct attention from a doctorally prepared faculty member at UMSON and a nurse at your partnership hospital. These two nurses will work together to mentor, advise, and guide you through your program and your career progression.
• You can complete this program exclusively online (but still have face-to-face contact with your designated advisor) other than the clinical component.
• You’ll work with your faculty advisor to develop your practicum site, so you’ll receive support every step of the way.
• You may have no out-of-pocket cost to complete your master’s degree. (Contact your hospital’s human resources department for more information.)
• You can take advantage of UMSON resources, including a 23,000-member-strong alumni network, career support, and campus facilities such as URecFit and the Health Sciences and Human Services Library.
