Undergraduate Nursing Programs

Through the study of theory, research and practice, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) student prepares to provide health care to people across the lifespan with awareness of the exigencies of gender, culture and ethnicity. Theoretical, clinical, and experiential learning experiences prepare the student to provide care for the acutely and chronically ill and also to instruct clients in health promotion and disease and injury prevention. BSN students also develop administrative skills necessary to manage the healthcare needs of clients in a variety of settings. Competency-based learning is integrated into the core curriculum by designing assessments and practical experiences that specifically focus on achieving proficiency in essential clinical skills and professional behaviors critical to patient care.For today’s professional nurse, a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is essential.
