Leadership in Diverse Settings (LeaDS) program is a master's level curriculum created to address the need for nurses to take on leadership roles in various healthcare environments. The aim of the program is to equip graduates with a comprehensive set of skills to lead in patient-centered healthcare, community, and educational settings. Graduates of the program will be prepared to drive change in complex and dynamic environments. The program is designed for registered nurses who want to become nursing leaders.
Faculty: School of Nursing | Duration: 39 semester credit hours | Study mode: full-time | Location: Austin, TX, United States
The programme requires 39 semester credit hours. The student must pass all foundation year courses and have an unencumbered nursing license to enroll in graduate nursing courses beyond the foundation year.
Graduate admission (applies to the programme): All students are expected to complete an approved upper-division statistics course before to the first semester of enrollment. The entering student usually holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing from a program accredited by the National League for Nursing or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and holds a registered nurse license that allows the student to practice as a registered nurse in Texas. Registered nurses with a non-nursing baccalaureate degree and an associate's degree in nursing may also apply to the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. Factors considered in the admission decision include a grade point average of at least 3.00 in upper-division undergraduate and graduate coursework; information derived from academic and professional references; professional background and goals; and proficiency in the English language. An interview may also be required.
Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
Graduate entry terms are summer and fall; each graduate program sets its own application deadline.
Graduate application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants; MBA (and dual programs with MBA) $200; MPA $125. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline. Fee waivers are available only to U.S. citizens/permanent residents applying for a first graduate degree (not MBA or MPA).
