The curriculum in the Nursing program prepares students to become clinical generalists who are leaders, managers, and life-long learners who integrate research findings into their nursing practice. The graduate is prepared to plan health care for individuals, families or groups.

The Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) specialization is designed for those students who have already completed the RN program at a community college or hospital.
