Welcome!
The School of Nursing's mission is to improve nursing care through education and research, and to respond to the health concerns of society. The undergraduate program is both clinically and academically challenging and is designed to prepare nursing leaders of the future. Graduates are eligible to take the registered nursing (RN) licensure examination and be certified as public health nurses. The School of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The growing diversity of the nation's population underscores the need to prepare future nursing practitioners and researchers who are knowledgeable and sensitive to the population's needs. The School of Nursing seeks to admit and educate a diverse student body, both in order to enrich the students' educational experience and to prepare them to meet the health needs of a diverse society. Student body characteristics that will enhance diversity in the school include leadership qualities, a strong work, community or public service record, special talents and interests, gender (males are underrepresented in the nursing profession), and a wide range of economic, social, racial/ethnic and geographic backgrounds.
