Explore Our Nursing Major
Nursing is projected to grow more than 25% over the next 10 years. Our program prepares students to sit for and pass the NCLEX-RN examination, to obtain licensure as a registered professional nurse and to gain a liberal arts perspective. Our direct entry admission option also allows qualified students to secure a place in the program beginning the fall semester of their junior year.
