  Calendar entry for this degree: The Program The M.N.Sc. is a two-year program that focuses on nursing research. The program is built on a foundation of nursing theory and clinical expertise. Nursing research is operationally defined as the scientific investigation of health, health promotion, illness and care-related questions and hypotheses of interest to nursing. It includes the identification of factors influencing nursing care decisions and testing the effectiveness of nursing interventions on patient outcomes. The graduate of this research-intensive master's program will have: the theoretical knowledge and skills to conduct small nursing research projects and participate on research teams; an area of expertise as well as the knowledge and skill to introduce and use their own and published research findings; and, critical appraisal skills needed for developing the scientific basis for nursing practice. There are two fields of study offered: chronic health conditions, and transitions in health and illness. The program provides course work in research methods and skills, nursing theories and the conceptualization of nursing research. Theoretical and empirical analysis and conclusions on special topics of critical concern to the student's clinical field are integral to course and thesis work. Thesis-based option (Pattern I) The M.N.Sc. (Pattern I) requires 5 half courses plus, a thesis. Typically, required course work is completed in year one with classes held on 2 consecutive weekdays. Thesis work begins in year one and is the primary focus of year two. This is a unique approach, as other nursing graduate programs focus on advanced clinical practice or a combination of advanced practice and research. Course-based option (Pattern Ill) Students in the M.N.Sc. (Pattern Ill) program take the same 4 foundation courses as the thesis-based students, plus a two-term project course (NURS 897), and 3 elective courses.
