Joint Degrees
Joint-Degree Program in Nursing and Divinity
In recognition of the relationship between nursing and religious studies, the Yale School of Nursing and the Divinity School offer a joint-degree program in nursing and divinity. This option is especially oriented to individuals who wish to combine careers in advanced nursing practice and social ministry that might involve direct practice, planning, and policy making and religious ministry in a variety of health care systems. There are two joint-degree options between the Divinity School and the School of Nursing. The first option, a joint degree leading to the Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) and the Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.R.), requires three years of study (four years for students in the Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing [GEPN]). The second option, a joint degree leading to the M.S.N. and Master of Divinity (M.DIV.), requires four years of study (five years for GEPN students) and is designed for those students who wish to prepare for the lay or ordained ministries of Christian churches. All students must meet with the associate dean or assistant dean of academic affairs and the specialty director prior to applying to discuss the feasibility of the program of study.
Joint Degree in Nursing and Public Health
Recognizing the relation between nursing and public health, the Yale School of Nursing and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health offer a joint-degree opportunity in nursing and public health. This option is especially oriented to individuals who wish to combine careers in advanced nursing practice and public health that might involve direct practice, planning, and policy making in a variety of health care systems in the public health sector. The joint-degree option requires three years (four years for students in the Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing) and awards a Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) and a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.). For GEPN students, application is made either simultaneously to both schools or after enrollment in the School of Nursing during the GEPN year. For RN students aplying directly to a specialty, applicants apply simultaneously to both schools. All students must meet with the associate dean or assistant dean for academic affairs and the specialty director prior to applying to discuss the feasibility of the program of study.
