Return to: Graduate Programs
This online graduate program allows RNs with bachelor’s degrees to earn both a Master of Science in Nursing and a Master of Business Administration in Leadership. Both degrees are awarded at the same time with the completion of all requirements. This 60-credit dual degree benefits nurses who are, or plan to be, in a leadership position such as, manager, director of nursing or Chief Nursing Officer (CNO). The Leadership MBA curriculum also develops insight and foresight, and deepens the understanding of the quantitative and qualitative relationships within organizations.
Incomplete Grades:
Incomplete grades are generally given only in cases of illness or emergency. It is the responsibility of the student to request an incomplete course grade from the faculty member teaching the course. Forms may be obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs. A request for an incomplete grade form signed by the faculty member, student, and the Associate Dean for Nursing must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar in order for an “I” grade to be assigned. A grade of Incomplete reflects an agreed upon course of action between a faculty member and a student to complete the course within the designated time frame. Course work must be completed six weeks from the last day of class. If course work is not completed within this time, a grade of “F” will automatically be assigned. Under special circumstances, students may petition the Associate Dean for Nursing to extend the time limit in which course work may be completed.
