Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Students can now complete a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree almost entirely at our Waukesha campus.

The program will provide Waukesha and surrounding communities access to the only four-year nursing program at a public university within a 60-mile radius. Students from both the Washington County and Waukesha campuses will have access to active learning spaces, clinical simulation, and clinical placements in Washington and Waukesha counties.

The UWM’s nursing curriculum is divided into two parts: pre-nursing and professional major. 

Pre-nursing students take beginning coursework at UW-Milwaukee, UWM at Washington County, UWM at Waukesha or through our consortial partner, UW-Parkside. View information for applying to the professional nursing major.
