Transformative Nursing Education Program

About

Graduate courses in education coupled with experiential learning is integral for preparing future nursing leaders in education. The aim of this program is to produce educators who enrich learning experiences for nursing students in an academic environment, or for those nurses working in healthcare systems.

Designed for nurses interested in teaching in an academic setting or in the care delivery environment as a professional development specialist, this program combines adult learning theory with a toolkit of teaching strategies and hands-on teaching opportunities. Offered in a blended online/in-class learning environment, graduate nursing students complete three courses for this program. Alternatively, students who are mainly interested in academic teaching can pursue just two courses (NURS 6000 and NURS 6010) aimed at preparing exemplary teachers in the classroom and clinical settings. Students exclusively interested in teaching in the service environment (e.g., hospitals) can complete two courses (NURS 6000 and NURS 6020) in this focus area.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Our admission decisions are made prior to the announcement of results for many national examinations (such as the A Levels or French Baccalaureate), but applicants are expected to be enrolled in programs that prepare them for these examinations. If you are enrolled in a program that will not release external examination results prior to our application deadlines, you must request that your school send us predictions of external examination results along with your grades.

Where national examinations are required for admission to a pre-university program (such as the IGCSE or the SPM), you should have received high marks on these examinations and should present certified copies of the results with your Penn application.

Students in our diverse global community have a wide range of passions, perspectives, and talents. Beyond academics, we would like to learn about your non-scholarly interests, extracurricular activities, and community service (though we recognize that patterns for non-academic involvement vary from country to country).
