Nursing (B.S.N.)

The Bachelor of Science program in Nursing offers a balanced curriculum including courses in the liberal arts, the sciences, the humanities, and nursing. Many of the nursing courses are concentrated in the junior and senior years and involve classroom and clinical learning experiences in hospitals, long-term care facilities, homeless shelters, patients' homes, and other community-based settings. Students in the Bachelor’s degree program develop competencies in the care of adults, children, child-bearing families and the elderly. A theoretical base for nursing practice is laid early in the program and students grow in their ability to apply theory in developing systems of care for patients.
