Program Overview
Yale's innovative Nursing Management, Policy and Leadership (NMPL) program draws upon the collective expertise of faculty from Yale School of Nursing and leading scholars across the University. Our curriculum gives nurses an opportunity to advance their professional and academic careers in a unique, exciting, and individualized way. Coursework is done online and is supplemented with monthly on-campus classes. Appropriate support is given to students with limited computer background.
The program focuses on two areas in which nurses can play critical roles: health care quality and patient safety. It is designed to enhance the ability of nurses to enter organizations, engage in management and policy discussions, and lead agencies through health care change, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes. It's a tall order, but a crucial one in today's rapidly changing health care environment.
Nurses enrolled in the program take 40 credits of coursework, including an introductory and advanced clinical course in NMPL. All students work with NMPL faculty to negotiate clinical placements that meet their professional goals and satisfy the program's requirements. Study in the program can be full-time or part-time. Full-time students complete their degree requirements over two academic years (four semesters). Part-time study is completed over three academic years (six semesters) and gives students more flexible schedule options.
