College-Bellevue School of Nursing
The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing of the City University of New York and The School of Public Affairs offer a dual degree -Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Public Administration (MS/MPA). The program prepares nurses to assume positions of leadership in nursing in a variety of health care settings both in the for-profit and non-profit sectors including acute care, home care, public health and community-based agencies. Courses are offered in the late afternoons and evenings. Graduates of the program meet educational requirements for specialty certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The dual degree MS/MPA consists of 57 credits and can be completed by full-time students in four semesters. Students have five years to complete degree requirements, however, and most students earn the degree by attending part-time. Courses are offered in the late afternoon and evenings.
Course of Study
The program consists of core courses shared with other master's level students in nursing and public administration, courses in the specialization, and cognate electives. One elective may be chosen from any of the many graduate programs offered at Hunter College and three electives are chosen from the School of Public Affairs at Baruch College. The purpose of these electives is to enable the student to consider the application of the principles of nursing and public administration to the field of health policy and administration.
