A 2006 report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation notes that demand for qualified nursing faculty is at an all time high. The College of Nursing & Healthcare Innovation is addressing this critical need through an exciting series of hybrid (electronic & some face to face) delivered classes. No matter your setting, academic or practice, or your experience, we have an educational pathway for you! Come explore the use of the latest in teaching approaches and technologies: learner centered education, PDAs, wikis, podcasts and more!
The Nurse Educator options available to you at ASU include two pathways:

At the core of both programs are 15 credit hours of courses and a practicum which focus on the science and art of nursing education. Students who choose the Nurse Educator (NED) Graduate Certificate pathway must have a bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Nursing. At the completion of the program, NED certificate and MS students may be eligible to take the National League for Nursing certification exam; please see Eligibility Requirements.

The NED Master of Science courses are embedded in a 45 credit degree program in which you choose a specialty concentration. Courses can be completed during the summer or any combination of year round schedules.
