When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we support University of Alabama, The 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 snapshot identifies the institution and the accreditation evidence used for directory inclusion. It does not say that University of Alabama, The offers a particular NP or non-NP pathway, teaches online, assigns a specific practicum total, or expects students to find their own sites. Those facts require current official program materials.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at University of Alabama, The. 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.
The student's current program materials should answer the questions the accreditation listing cannot. Gather the catalog year, course instructions, degree audit, objectives, approved locations, mentor or preceptor criteria, site forms, affiliation language, compliance checklist, and submission sequence before defining the search.
When a student's confirmed course is an NP practicum, the match may center on population focus and supervised patient care. A program can evaluate the proposed clinician's certification, license, experience, practice site, patient access, availability, and willingness to complete forms. Accreditation does not tell us whether University of Alabama, The offers that course or which clinician types it accepts.
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 University of Alabama, The materials can establish whether either pathway exists and what qualifications apply.
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.
There is no universal MSN practicum total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different concentration as University of Alabama, The's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
Our MSN hours resource shows why NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and other experiences should not share one assumed total. The current program must still state what this student needs and which portion a proposed person and site would supervise.
Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from University of Alabama, The's Tuscaloosa address. The program may apply state, site, licensure, affiliation, or modality rules that the accreditation source does not show. Every proposed setting still needs course fit and program approval.
The statewide MSN guide for Alabama 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.
The program needs a proposal it can evaluate, not just a contact name. Build the file around course fit, candidate qualifications, site capacity, dates, supervision, geography, conflicts, and all requested documents. Any affiliation agreement, compliance review, authorization, insurance, background requirement, or other condition remains with University of Alabama, The and the proposed site.
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.
Our independent sourcing process starts with the verified requirement packet, not a school-policy assumption. We look for a candidate whose role and setting appear aligned, document the relevant facts, and submit them to the program's process. Use the request form when the current instructions are ready.
Our role is limited to independent candidate sourcing and documentation. MSNPreceptor is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Alabama, The, cannot waive any school or site requirement, and does not guarantee placement or approval. The current program determines whether the proposal fits the student's pathway and course.
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. University of Alabama, The 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.

No. MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Alabama, The. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
