Admission Requirements
Nurses who hold a Master of Science in Nursing degree from a nationally accredited program and are interested in continuing study in Nursing Education may be eligible to enter post graduate studies. The three pre-requisite courses required for advanced practice nursing: Advanced Assessment, Advanced Pathophysiology, and Advanced Pharmacology will need to have been completed before beginning the post-graduate certificate requirements and may be transferred from the previous graduate degree if completed no more than five (5) years prior to TSU enrollment. If the MSN program from which the applicant graduated did not include these courses, the three advanced courses may be taken through Tennessee State University before beginning the Education Concentration courses.
