Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):

Justification:  The academic justification for deleting the MSN 6140 Nursing Leadership: Conceptual Basis of Professional Socialization course is grounded in the MSN Program's need to add an advanced nursing theory course to its curriculum. (Following the MSN Program's 2008 National League for Nursing Accreditation candidacy review, the NLNAC encouraged the faculty to include advanced nursing theory content and learning outcomes.) As it is not an option to add three additional credits to the MSN Program length, the MSN faculty elected to delete the existing MSN 6140 course and replace it with an new advanced nursing theory course. The MSN faculty were able to logically integrate the MSN 6140 core concepts into two existing MSN courses.
