MESSAGE FROM MASTER'S CO-DIRECTOR
"Our master’s programs are ranked among the best in the nation. This distinction speaks to the quality and rigor of our programs. It also speaks to an incredible support system — including one-on-one sessions on scholarly writing, career planning, and stress management.
Yes, our programs are challenging, but that hard work pays off as students go on to enhance their practice and provide the best care for their patients and families. One-hundred percent of our graduates go on to become employed in their field. If you are thinking about ways to advance your career or practice, we hope you consider applying to the master's programs at the University of Rochester."
— Craig Sellers, PhD, RN, AGPCNP-BC, GNP-BC, FAANP, professor of clinical nursing and medicine/geriatrics and aging
