Masters in Nursing
The Masters in Nursing program at the University of Arizona is a two-year program that prepares students for advanced nursing practice. The curriculum includes courses in research, leadership and management, health care policy, community health nursing and more.
The application deadline for fall admission is March 1st of any year. Applicants must have earned an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university before being accepted into the program (no exceptions). If you already have a master’s degree, you may apply, but it would be best if you could get your bachelor’s first because it will help you get into graduate school later on down the road.
The cost of tuition per semester can vary depending on what type of financial aid package your receive, but generally speaking, they range anywhere between $14k-$18k per year depending on whether or not there are scholarships available through other organizations outside U o A such as the HOPE Scholarship Foundation, which offers up to $5k per year towards tuition costs.
Doctor of Nursing Practice
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at the University of Arizona is a graduate-level degree that prepares nurses for advanced healthcare practice roles. The DNP curriculum is designed to meet the needs of current nurses who want to earn the highest level of education available and advance their careers.
The DNP curriculum requires students to complete at least 42 credits, with 32 credits coming from core courses and ten credits from electives chosen by students based on their interests and career goals. Students must complete at least one practicum, which may be taken locally or through distance learning options offered by UA Online.
Master of Public Health
The Master of Public Health (MPH) program at the University of Arizona offers a variety of options for students to pursue.
The MPH degree is available in four different concentrations:
- Master of Science in Epidemiology
- Master of Science in Biostatistics
- Master of Science in Environmental Health Sciences
- The curriculum includes coursework exploring public health policy and administration, epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health sciences and more. Students must also complete an internship or thesis project with an advisor from their chosen concentration area before graduating.
Master of Transportation Planning and Management
The Master of Transportation Planning and Management degree focuses on developing transportation systems. This program will prepare you for a career and help you build your leadership skills. You will learn how to create plans for roads and bridges, manage public transit systems, coordinate freight deliveries across different modes of transportation (such as trucks), and more.
The University of Arizona offers this program at its main campus in Tucson or its satellite campus in Phoenix. The master’s degree may be completed full-time or part-time over two years; however, students typically end it faster than this due to summer course offerings available during breaks between semesters.
Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)
The University of Arizona’s MAT program is designed for teachers who want to earn their teaching credentials in Arizona public schools. It’s also ideal for those who already have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and want to improve their skills, knowledge base, and experience as they prepare for the classroom. The one-year program covers teaching, education, and learning theory; it includes field experiences that give you hands-on opportunities within local classrooms before graduation day.
The University of Arizona offers two tracks within its Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program: K-12 Secondary Education Track and Elementary Education Track. Both ways require applicants to have earned at least a 3.0 GPA on their undergraduate degree–but the secondary track requires applicants to hold at least 24 semester hours of coursework explicitly related to teaching English Language Arts or Social Studies at either middle or high school level. In contrast, elementary track students must hold at least 24 semester hours related specifically toward teaching Math/Science/Language Arts classes at either primary grade levels 1st through 6th-grade levels 7th through 12th grades.
