Hunter College of the CUNY MSN program snapshot

  • Program: Master of Science in Nursing
  • School: Hunter College of the City University of New York
  • Directory location: New York, New York (NY)
  • Accreditation evidence: CCNE
  • Roster verified: July 21, 2026
  • Approval authority: Hunter College of the City University of New York

Accreditation is the basis for listing Hunter College of the City University of New York, but accreditation is not a course instruction. A student still needs the current catalog, degree audit, handbook, and placement materials to verify pathway, course design, required hours, location limits, deadlines, and candidate qualifications.

Confirm the current Hunter College of the CUNY MSN requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at Hunter College of the City University of New York. That is a useful verification point but a limited one. It cannot be used to infer available specialties, delivery method, field-experience hours, approval deadlines, mentor rules, or placement assistance.

Translate the current handbook and course instructions into a search brief before outreach. The brief should state the pathway, course, applied objective, dates, approved state, setting, population or project focus, supervisor criteria, site documents, compliance needs, and review process. Unconfirmed assumptions should be marked for the program to resolve.

Match the supervisor and site to the MSN pathway

If the confirmed pathway is a direct-care nurse practitioner pathway, a course may call for supervised patient care with a population-aligned, board-certified nurse practitioner or physician. The candidate's active practice, patient population, license, certification, site capacity, and ability to meet course objectives may matter. This description explains a pathway category; it does not claim that Hunter College of the City University of New York offers that pathway or accepts every professional with those credentials.

Other MSN pathways use different role logic. A nurse educator experience may fit an academic, staff-development, simulation, or clinical education mentor. Leadership or administration work may fit a nurse executive, operations leader, quality leader, or another approved mentor. The setting and person must support the actual objectives, and this comparison does not imply that Hunter College of the City University of New York offers either pathway.

An informatics experience can center on clinical systems, analytics, implementation, technology adoption, or workflow and may need a nurse informaticist or another approved systems professional. Public health, community practice, care coordination, quality, clinical nurse leader, and other pathways use their own objectives. The MSN specialties overview helps compare roles without assigning one to this school.

Confirm practicum hours instead of assuming a total

No fixed MSN practicum total can be assigned to Hunter College of the City University of New York from accreditation evidence. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. The current catalog, handbook, degree audit, course shell, and field placement office should resolve the total and how it is distributed before a preceptor, mentor, or site search is scoped.

The MSN clinical hours guide explains the difference between direct-care and other applied experiences without assigning an unsupported total to this institution. Once the program confirms the exact course requirement, the search can focus on the hours, setting, supervision, and objectives that actually need approval.

Plan an approval-ready search in New York

The directory records New York, New York as the institution location. It does not determine the student's eligible placement area or authorize any site. Ask Hunter College of the City University of New York to confirm the state and setting boundaries, then evaluate candidates for relevant work, credentials, availability, supervision, conflicts, paperwork, and site participation.

The statewide MSN guide for New York can support a local search plan. Apply the exact pathway, course, geography, role, and site criteria confirmed by the program before treating any setting as a viable proposal.

An approval-ready file states who the proposed person is, what role that person would perform, where the experience would occur, which course objectives the setting supports, and when supervision is available. It also includes the credentials and forms the program requests. Hunter College of the City University of New York may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.

Use a current-course readiness checklist

The student should be able to show the current course instructions, degree audit, confirmed hours, learning objectives, approved state, acceptable setting, supervisor criteria, affiliation information, compliance steps, forms, and review deadline. If any item comes from memory or an older term, check it again with the current program before outreach.
