Undergraduate Programs

The School of Nursing offers innovative programs to meet the professional needs of students for entry into nursing or for advanced preparation. Associate degree students in nursing are prepared to begin their careers as entry-level registered nurses; the degree leads to eligibility for State Board examination for licensure as a registered nurse.  The Bachelor's degree program prepares practicing nurses for beginning leadership positions in health care fields.

Throughout the programs, various part-time and full-time employment opportunities are available in local health care agencies, giving students work experience to relate to their university studies and supplemental income. Flexible schedules allow students to pursue programs part-time and full-time. These are university programs, with students sharing in the social and cultural aspects of college life, while developing their potential as persons, citizens, and nurses.

Admission to nursing programs is competitive and is determined by program admission committees in the school. Special requirements for admission and progression are available through the school.
