Advancing Science in Nursing

From pediatrics to geriatrics, community clinics to pharmaceutical labs, our faculty conduct research and scholarship that advances science in nursing and health, and they don’t do this alone.

The school recruits students from first-year undergraduates to online PhD candidates, nursing administrators to nurse practitioners, for research and mentorship opportunities that prepare School of Nursing graduates at every practice level to transform health care delivery and health policy.
