Academic Programs
We offer a variety of masters’ level degree tracks, including joint degrees with the University of Alabama's highly regarded Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration. Students completing our programs will find themselves well prepared to enter the arena of case-management or function in the Clinical Nurse Leader role.
Each fall semester, the Capstone College of Nursing will accept a new cohort of students to the MSN/Ed.D or an Ed.D. for Nurse Educators Program. This program is designed to prepare practicing nurses for faculty professorship positions in higher education.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a joint program offered by The University of Alabama Capstone College of Nursing (UACCN) and the University of Alabama in Birmingham School of Nursing (UABSON) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville College of Nursing (UAHCON). The DNP is a practice-focused degree to prepare graduates to practice at the highest level in specialty practice or to assume leadership positions in health care.
