Collaborative Specializations for Master’s and Doctoral Students

Program Requirements

Students participating in a collaborative specialization must be registered in a degree program in the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing Graduate Department Nursing Science.

Students must:

• meet all admission standards and complete all degree requirements of the home unit.

• meet the requirements of the collaborative specialization. The degree conferred is in the home discipline, and there is a notation on the student’s transcript indicating completion of the collaborative specialization.

Most collaborative specializations require one core course, one elective or seminar series, and that the clinical course placement allows for related experience.

Student Responsibilities Related to Collaborative Specialization Participation

Collaborative Specializations (CS) are run independently from Bloomberg Nursing. Students are responsible for understanding and tracking their CS requirements. It is the student’s responsibility, in conjunction with the CS, to determine if a specific type of placement is required.

Students should contact the Clinical Education Office early to identify placement opportunities that will meet both their degree and CS requirements.

Admission Requirements

Collaborative specializations are available to MN and PhD students enrolled at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing.

Academic Standing & Prerequisite Courses

Candidates are accepted under the general regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. Meeting minimal requirements does not ensure admission.

Requirements are as follows:

• Applicants must meet the admission requirements for a graduate degree program at the Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing (see MN Admission Requirements or PhD Admission Requirements).
• Applicants must first be admitted to a graduate degree program at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing (either the MN or the PhD). Applicants must then apply and be admitted to the collaborative specialization.
• Applicants must meet the admission requirements for the collaborative specialization they are applying to. View the SGS Calendar for details.

Student Responsibilities

Student Responsibilities Related to Collaborative Specialization Participation

Please be aware that Collaborative Specializations (CS) are run independently from our Faculty. Students are responsible for understanding, tracking, and ensuring completion of their CS requirements within the same timeframe as their MN or PhD program. In some cases, it may be challenging to incorporate CS courses into existing course schedules and MN or PhD program demands. It is the student’s responsibility to check course timing/offerings and create a plan of study that allows them to be successful in completing the CS concurrent with their program workload. Additionally, it is the student’s responsibility, in conjunction with the CS, to determine if a specific type of placement is required. Students should reach out to the Clinical Education (CE) Office early to begin working with CE staff to identify placement opportunities that will meet both the degree and CS requirements.

Please notify the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and our Student Services Office if you are admitted to a Collaborative Specialization (CS).
