When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, we support University of Connecticut 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.
The compact record deliberately separates an accreditation fact from placement assumptions. University of Connecticut is included because of its master's nursing accreditation evidence. The record does not establish what concentrations it offers, whether a course has field hours, or whether the student, school, or another party sources a site.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at University of Connecticut. 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.
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.
For a verified direct-care NP course, the supervisor profile often differs from a general mentor profile. Population fit, board certification, current practice, licensure, patient mix, supervision capacity, and the site's ability to support course objectives can all affect review. These are planning considerations only and should not be attributed to University of Connecticut without its current instructions.
When the verified pathway is education, an experienced academic or clinical educator may be the relevant mentor. When it is leadership or administration, an executive, operations, or quality professional may be more aligned. The course objectives and current credential rules decide the fit. The roster does not show whether University of Connecticut offers these pathways.
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.
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 University of Connecticut to confirm the student's current requirement in writing, then use that answer rather than an online comparison or a figure from another pathway.
Read how MSN practicum hours vary, then verify the active course with University of Connecticut. Sourcing should begin only after the program confirms the amount, experience type, approved geography, supervisor role, setting, and forms attached to the requirement.
Storrs, Connecticut is the directory location for University of Connecticut; it is not a promise that every student can place there. The current program must confirm permitted states and any location restrictions. Geography is only one screen, alongside course objectives, setting fit, candidate credentials, site capacity, conflicts, affiliation terms, and required documentation.
The statewide MSN guide for Connecticut 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.
A complete proposal connects the current course to a specific person and setting. Document the candidate's credentials, role, experience, site, availability, supervision plan, and willingness to complete school paperwork. This preparation helps University of Connecticut review the request but cannot replace its affiliation, compliance, authorization, background, or approval process.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact MSN pathway and course; whether an applied experience is required; the approved hours and dates; the eligible state and setting; the required preceptor or mentor credentials; the course objectives; any prohibited relationships; the affiliation and compliance process; every school and site form; and the submission deadline for the student's active term.
If the confirmed course calls for an outside person or setting, send the pathway, objectives, dates, geography, role criteria, site criteria, and forms through the matching request. Our process guide explains how candidate screening supports, but never replaces, the program's approval review.
MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Connecticut. We do not act for the institution, decide eligibility, or guarantee that a preceptor, mentor, or site will be found or approved. The program and proposed site retain their own review authority, and no outcome is promised.
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 Connecticut 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 University of Connecticut. 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.
