The College of Nursing offers the Master of Nursing (nonthesis) and the Master of Science in Nursing (thesis) degrees with clinical specializations in adult health, child health, critical care, family and com- munity health, gerontological nursing, nurse mid- wifery, nursing service administration, psychiatric and mental health, and women's and infants" nursing. The functional roles of clinical specialist, nurse educator, nursing administrator, or nurse practitioner are of- fered within clinical specialization. In addition to meeting the requirements of the Graduate School, an applicant must have an active R.N. license, a year's clinical practice experience in the area of the clinical major, a baccalaureate degree in nursing from an accredited program with an upper division nursing major, a two or three credit college- level course in statistics, and demonstrated profi- ciency in physical assessment. Curriculum alter- natives are available for nurses holding baccalaureate or higher degrees in fields other than nursing. The College of Nursing offers the Doctor of Philos- ophy in nursing sciences. Students are expected to meet all requirements for admission to the master's program and to have a master's degree in nursing with a clinical specialty. Students are expected to complete a series of courses specified by the College of Nursing and complete a minor outside of the College. Admis- sion to doctoral studies in nursing is through appro- priate application to the Graduate School and the College Admission Committee. The purpose of the doctoral program in nursing sciences is to prepare nurse scholars and researchers who will be expert clinicians, teachers or administrators.
