Programs of Study


GC School of Nursing currently offers one MSN Specialization, the family nurse practitioner (FNP). Examples of programs of study for the graduate level major are found in the Graduate Handbook Appendix A.

The curriculum for the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Degree at GC consists of graduate core courses, support courses, and specialty courses.



Admission, Progression, Graduation, and Certification

Admission


Admission requirements are described in the GC Graduate Catalog. Students seeking admission to the MSN degree program should send a graduate application, application fee, and transcripts to:


Graduate Admissions Office
Georgia College
Campus Box 107
Milledgeville, GA 31061

Applications may also be made online. Please refer to Graduate Programs web pages for more details.
The admissions requirements for the MSN degree program are found in the Graduate Catalog. In addition to University requirements for admission, the MSN degree program requires applicants to meet technical standards and provide proof of immunization, other health-related information, and liability insurance. Criteria are specified in the Graduate Catalog.

Advisement 


Students are advised according to the procedure described in the GC Graduate Catalog.
Advising Mission Statement

Advising sessions are required for incoming first-year MSN students and postmaster’s option students. Graduate academic advisors and students shall meet to review the student's degree progress on a regular basis.

Advising at GC is a shared responsibility between students, faculty and staff. Through a network of resources and support, students communicate with advisors to obtain information and guidance aimed at the student's successful completion of degree requirements and preparation for post-master’s degree opportunities. An inherent goal of the advising process is for student to gain self-understanding that will inform their decisions regarding academic, career and life goals.

Advising Purpose

The purpose of advising in the graduate nursing program is to assist the graduate nursing students to be successful in their programs of study. Students have either a full-time or part-time program of study, which they must follow once they are accepted into the program. Students in the full-time program may elect if space is available to move to the part-time program after meeting with their advisor and requesting this change. Because of course sequencing, students in the part-time program are not able to move to the full-time program.


Specific Advising Aims

Aim 1: Students will receive effective advising consistent with GC, College of Health Science, and School of Nursing guidelines.
Aim 2: Students will actively participate in the advising process.
Aim 3: Successful completion of program of study.
After students are accepted and have regular admission status for graduate study, a program of study will be developed with their academic advisor or the Assistant Director of Graduate Programs. The program of study outlines the courses required to earn a Master of Science in Nursing specializing as a FNP. Once the program of study is on file, students should register for courses as early as possible. Registration is available in PAWS. See the Academic Calendar for registration dates for more information.
Appointments with academic advisors are encouraged to discuss coursework, programs of study, and opportunities for clinical placement.
Advisor Responsibilities

Graduate students can expect their advisors to:




  1. Understand and effectively communicate the University policies and procedures.

  2. Provide information about and strategies for utilizing available campus resources and services.

  3. Monitor and accurately document the advisee’s progress toward meeting curricular goals.

  4. Maintain confidentiality.

  5. Be accessible via office hours, email, and telephone.


Advisee Responsibilities

The advisees are ultimately responsible for their educational success and are expected to:





  1. Participate in mandatory graduate orientation and immersion week.

  2. Read the University catalog and Graduate Handbook.

  3. Schedule regular appointments or make regular contact with their academic advisor.

  4. Make use of campus services and resources to enhance your personal and academic success.

  5. Come prepared to each advisement meeting with questions and discussion points.

  6. Accept responsibility for own decisions.
