 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, community health, family nurse prac-
titioner, gerontological nurse practitioner, neonatal nurs-
ing, nurse midwifery, nursing administration, pediatric
nurse practitioner, psychiatric and mental health, and
women's and infants' nursing. The functional roles of
clinical specialist, nurse educator, nursing administrator, or
nurse practitioner are offered.
 In addition to meeting the requirements of the Graduate
School, an applicant must have an active R.N. license, a
year's clinical practice in the area of the clinical specialty,
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 demon-
strated proficiency in physical assessment. Curriculum
alternatives are available for nurses holding baccalaureate
or higher degrees in fields other than nursing.
 The Collegeof Nursing offers the Doctor of Philosophy in
nursing sciences. Students are expected to meet all require-
ments for admission to the master's program and to have a
