Academic Programs
The College of Nursing and Health Sciences offers academic programs that prepare our students for careers that span much of the dynamic field of healthcare. Our experienced and nationally recognized faculty have carefully designed each program's curriculum to ensure that students are ready to enter the career of their choice in this ever-expanding area that encompasses everything from ER nurses to wellness coordinators to health information analysts.
The College of Nursing and Health Sciences is divided into two departments, each with its own unique identity. Both departments offer programs that prepare students academically and with hands-on experience and both have bragging rights to some of the highest graduate pass-rates on licensure exams in the nation.
