Use the snapshot as an identity and evidence check, not as a substitute for a handbook. The accreditor record supports an accredited master's nursing degree at University of Tampa, The; it does not answer which pathways are active, how courses are delivered, how many hours apply, or who handles placement.

The accreditation fact for University of Tampa, The comes from CCNE and was verified for this roster on July 21, 2026. Its scope is degree accreditation. The source does not prove a particular specialty, course format, practicum requirement, student sourcing model, review timeline, or candidate qualification standard.

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.

A direct-care NP course can require a clinical site and a nurse practitioner or physician whose certification and patient population align with the student's focus. Programs may examine licensure, board status, practice activity, supervision, patient access, conflicts, and site paperwork. Nothing in the accreditation record shows that University of Tampa, The offers an NP concentration, so the student must first confirm the pathway and its current rules.

Non-NP field experiences can place the learning objective outside direct patient care. Education may involve teaching or professional development; leadership may involve systems, operations, administration, or quality. The proposed mentor needs experience that matches the confirmed course. Do not infer that University of Tampa, The offers either option from its master's accreditation.

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.

Do not estimate a student's requirement from the MSN label. There is no universal practicum total, and required hours vary across programs, pathways, courses, and catalog years. Use University of Tampa, The's current documents and field placement guidance to confirm both the total and the purpose of the experience. The MSN hours guide explains why totals differ.

Use the MSN practicum hours overview for a general framework, not for a school-specific figure. A useful sourcing brief records the confirmed hours for this course, their learning purpose, the acceptable setting, how supervision is documented, and whether separate experiences need separate approvals.

Start the geographic plan with the student's authorized location, not an assumption drawn from University of Tampa, The's Tampa 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 Florida MSN placement guide describes the wider search landscape. Use it to understand possible settings, not to bypass the program's course, state authorization, affiliation, credential, or approval requirements.

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. University of Tampa, The may separately require affiliation agreements, compliance checks, background items, insurance, or other review steps.

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.
