Become a Nurse Educator

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in Nursing Education prepares nurses for teaching roles in a variety of settings, including traditional and nontraditional academic settings, and clinical and community settings. Our students are using cutting-edge technology and teaching-learning methods.

The program emphasizes competencies needed for students to complete the Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) certification examination.

Formats for Working Professionals

The MSN in Nursing Education program is offered in several formats designed to support working professionals. You can complete the program entirely online, or choose to take some courses in person through one of our hybrid options. 

Online Option

The program allows students to take advantage of the convenience of online learning without sacrificing either the quality of instruction or meaningful professor-student interaction. A virtual nurses’ lounge is also available to facilitate community within the cohort and between cohorts, faculty, and staff.

Online and On-Campus Option

With this option, choose to complete the majority of the MSN in Nursing Education online while taking some core courses at one of APU’s Southern California campuses, including our main campus in Azusa or our Inland Empire, Monrovia, or San Diego regional locations.
