Students interested in a nurse educator role can pursue any one of the three clinical nurse specialist clinical foci. A graduate student pursuing the Advanced Nurse Education Option will have structured experiences that center on teaching students in both the clinical and classroom setting. A faculty member serves as a preceptor. The student must complete a series of courses that include teaching/learning principles. These courses include Nur 641, 642, and 643.
