Iona University is adding a new Master of Science degree in Nursing with a focus on health care organizational leadership to its academic offerings.
According to the New Rochelle-based school, the 38-credit curriculum integrates advanced nursing role concepts and executive leadership-focused theories, principles and strategies into core and program-specific courses. In a press release, Iona stated the program will prepare students to “lead within complex health care systems to design and implement equitable health care access and solutions, create collaborative relationships and trusting work environments, serve as a change agent through innovation, apply knowledge of human resources and fiscal management for health care, lead collaboratively within the interprofessional team and acquire professional leadership behaviors that reflect moral courage, ethical principles, human dignity, social justice and uphold accountability to the individual, society and the profession.”
Iona is now accepting applications for the program and classes are scheduled to begin in the Fall 2023 semester.
