Students pursuing the Independent Master of Nursing (IMN) plan their Master of Nursing course of study
with a faculty advisor and supervisory committee to meet the minimum requirements below. Students may
take courses in the School of Nursing or in other UW departments, and may supplement the course work
listed below as appropriate to their interests. The IMN option takes approximately one year of
full-time study to complete. It is also possible to attend part-time, taking as few or as many courses
as one likes. Graduate non-matriculated status is welcome.
The IMN is designed to offer maximum flexibility and convenience and is molded to fit individual career
goals and settings. It may be completed on a part or full-time basis, and offer a growing number of
distance learning opportunities.
Students who would like a more structured approach to their IMN may opt to select the following specialty:
While the Clincal Nurse Leader (CNL) option is no longer being offered as a structured option, students
may independently design a program of study that would prepare them for certification as a CNL.
If you are interested in pursuing the IMN, you should be:
- willing to take initiative in the design of your individualized program curriculum
- able to monitor the incremental achievement of your educational goals and objectives
