The Nursing Major (BSN)
The baccalaureate program in nursing prepares graduates for entry level professional nursing practice. The sciences, arts, humanities, and foundations of the profession are all integral parts of the curriculum.
The faculty is committed to integrating classroom knowledge with diverse clinical experiences. Students provide nursing care and develop leadership skills in acute, chronic and long-term care settings as well as in the local community health agencies. All prelicensure nursing students begin their clinical preparation in the nursing skills lab, and students build upon these skills in an on-campus simulation laboratory and externally in clinical agencies.
