Studying nursing science

The School of Nursing combines nursing science with a strong foundation in the liberal arts and the humanities to prepare undergraduate students for generalist nursing practice.
The program ensures that students have the opportunity to work side-by-side with health care professionals in various clinical settings. You will find a learning environment where students work with outstanding faculty and staff, gain knowledge and skills, share professional experiences and become exceptional nurses.
