Our Program

Our BSN degree program is full-time and immersive. Courses start at the junior level, following the completion of the pre-nursing course requirements so that you have a solid foundation for nursing practice. In our nursing school, you'll discover:

• A supportive learning environment led by a faculty that is committed to your success.
• Small class sizes, so you can get the personalized attention and focus to thrive.
• A values-based curriculum that emphasizes ethical, evidence-based care.
• Integrated digital learning, so you can enhance your studies and further your knowledge online.

We emphasize a holistic conceptual framework, emphasizing life-long learning. The core of that framework is built around key student-learning outcomes (SLOs), emphasizing patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, cultural competence, effective communication, knowledge and skills, legal ethical practices, patient care technology, and leadership.

When you graduate, you will be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure* Examination (NCLEX-RN®).
