Leadership, Analytics and Innovation

Overview
The University of Michigan School of Nursing is advancing the programming we will be offering to promote leadership and innovation in health care. We will be announcing new programming opportunities in the future but we will not be accepting applications into our former Leadership, Analytics and Innovation MSN program for Fall 2026. We invite you to explore our available MSN programs by visiting our website at nursing.umich.edu/academics/msn. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to our Recruitment and Admissions Team at [email protected] or call us at 734-763-5985.
Learning and Program Plans
You can choose from a variety of program plan options to suit your needs, including online and residential learning environments. Introduced in fall 2020, our online leadership program option is intended to offer the same rigorous education as the U-M School of Nursing’s traditional residential format. The online leadership program is designed by faculty along with student input, and consultation with national experts in online learning. Faculty are trained in highly effective and cutting-edge strategies for optimal learning and student engagement. Visit our tuition information page for more information on online program costs. You will learn how to apply knowledge, data analytics, creativity and innovation to drive strategic decisions in program development along with the evaluation of technology, information, care delivery and outcomes. The goal of our learning plan for Leadership, Analytics and Innovation students pursuing an MSN is to develop confidence in the use, analysis and interpretation of data to build clinical and financial cases for change, patient care delivery and health programs throughout the health care continuum. Students in the LAI program can pursue an Occupational Health Concentration, Certificate in Nursing Education or Health Informatics Certificate.
