Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
The program is designed for the baccalaureate-prepared Registered Nurse who wishes to pursue a graduate degree with specialty certification as an adult nurse practitioner. The program prepares the advanced practice nurse to sit for national certification, to effect improvement in the health care of adults, to continue personal and professional growth, and to be prepared for continued graduate study. The program enables the adult nurse practitioner to access, diagnose and treat health problems of the adult client. Health promotion and disease prevention are also emphasized.
The MSN is approved by the New Jersey Board of Nursing and is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
As it builds on the undergraduate curriculum, the central core of the MSN uses a systems framework, including the nursing theory of Roy. The program may be completed in four semesters of full-time study, or through part-time study. Students may transfer a maximum of 9 appropriate graduate nursing credits from an accredited college or university (clinical courses are exempt from transfer).

Master of Science in Computational Science (MSCP)
Computational science is an interdisciplinary field involving applied mathematics, computer science, and other disciplines such as engineering and business used to make quantitative predictions:
- How will a newly designed aircraft behave under conditions of operation?How can we design and manage the next generation of air traffic control systems?
- If we synthesize a new pharmaceutical with a given chemical formula, how will it behave?
- What is the ultimate fate of pollutants generated in urban areas?
- How do river and estuary ecosystems respond to natural and human perturbations?
- How do decisions made by individuals within a crowd affect the flow patterns of these crowds in urban areas?
- How do we solve science and engineering problems using advanced optimization techniques?
Computational scientists employ modeling and simulation, or the development of mathematical descriptions and representations of real systems and objects. These mathematical models are then used to examine the behavior of the real system under future conditions or under historical conditions. Models may also be used to allow someone to experience, virtually, a situation or phenomenon (flight simulation and the increasingly popular Wii™ being the most obvious examples to the general public).
The program offers two tracks, one emphasizes computation in the sciences and the other applies computation in the broader fields of modeling and simulation.
Our program emphasizes applied work where in-class assignments are supplemented by research projects and internships at local industry to provide for the practical application of knowledge gained by our students and a smooth transition into either a professional or research career.
