Research Focus Area Seminar I

Graduate / Professional

In this course, students enrolled in the Research Concentration participate in biweekly seminars that combine didactic learning with a mentored research practicum to deepen M.S.N. students’ exposure to nursing science and inspire future doctoral study. Seminars guide students in reviewing literature, developing research questions, and crafting preliminary proposals. The curriculum fosters critical thinking and scholarly engagement, culminating in a focused research question that could shape future doctoral work. The research practicum involves three hours per week (forty-five hours/semester) of faculty-mentored, hands-on experience in ongoing research. Faculty mentors support students with individualized goal-setting and biweekly guidance. This two-course sequence is required for students in the M.S.N. Research concentration.
