When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we support Mount Marty University students with candidate sourcing and documentation. Final review stays with the program, and accreditation confirms the master's degree rather than any particular pathway, hours, or placement procedure.
This evidence snapshot should not be stretched into a school-policy claim. It confirms a nationally accredited master's nursing degree at Mount Marty University on the verification date, while all questions about available pathways, practicum structure, delivery format, assistance, and approvals remain for the current program.
The CCNE source included Mount Marty University in its accredited master's nursing records when this roster was checked on July 21, 2026. That establishes the degree-level accreditation used here, not an NP concentration, education track, leadership track, informatics option, public health focus, exact hour total, modality, deadline, or placement policy.
Before outreach, identify the student's exact pathway and course, then collect the current catalog page, handbook section, degree audit, course objectives, field forms, and contact instructions. Ask the program to confirm whether this course requires a preceptor, mentor, site, or other applied experience and which facts must appear in the proposal.
Direct patient-care learning may need a population-matched nurse practitioner or physician plus a setting that can support the intended encounters and supervision. A title alone is not enough: the program may review credentials, active practice, site access, conflicts, and documentation. This conditional example does not establish an NP offering or policy at Mount Marty University.
An educator course and a leadership course ask different questions of a proposed mentor. One may focus on teaching environments, curriculum, simulation, or staff development; the other may focus on operations, quality, administration, or executive work. Only current Mount Marty University materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
A confirmed informatics course may need expertise in clinical systems, analytics, implementation, or workflow. A public health, community, quality, care coordination, or clinical nurse leader course may need a different setting and mentor. Use the MSN pathways page to separate the categories, then apply only the criteria supplied by Mount Marty University.
MSN practice requirements cannot be reduced to one reliable number. Hours vary with the program, pathway, course, and catalog year, and some courses may use field experiences that differ in purpose. Ask Mount Marty University to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another pathway.
The MSN hours guide can help a student ask better questions about pathway and course structure. It cannot calculate a Mount Marty University requirement. That calculation belongs to the current program, using the student's active curriculum, degree audit, and course sequence.
Use Yankton, South Dakota as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current Mount Marty University guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing professional or organization is not automatically an eligible match.
For broader setting context, review the MSN practicum guide for South Dakota. It can help identify categories of clinical, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and systems sites, while the student's current program remains the authority on what is allowed.
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. Mount Marty University may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.
A practical readiness checklist includes the active catalog year, degree audit, course number, pathway, applied objective, confirmed hours, dates, approved geography, setting category, candidate qualifications, conflict rules, affiliation needs, compliance items, required forms, and review deadline. Mark every unresolved item for written program confirmation before the search brief is final.
We source against confirmed requirements and document a possible match for school review. The steps are described on how it works. When the student can provide the current course, pathway, dates, location, role, setting, and forms, submit a sourcing request to begin.
Nothing on this page is issued by Mount Marty University. MSNPreceptor is an independent service, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the institution, and cannot approve the student's preceptor, mentor, site, or paperwork. We also cannot guarantee that a match will be found or accepted.
It applies when the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site and the student has the current requirements needed for sourcing. Mount Marty University makes every approval decision.
No. The accreditation evidence establishes an accredited master's nursing degree on the verification date. It does not prove an NP concentration, education, leadership, informatics, public health, or another pathway, and it does not establish modality or placement policy.
There is no universal MSN practicum total. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office rather than relying on a generic number.
The answer follows the confirmed pathway and course. Direct-care NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, quality, and other experiences can require different professionals and settings. The current program must approve the proposed role, credentials, site, and paperwork.
No. MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mount Marty University. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.

No cost to request. An advisor reviews the current course, pathway, location, and approval requirements before candidate sourcing begins.
We do not guarantee placement. Final approval rests with your program.
