About the Program

The Program in Nursing Science was established in 2005.  The undergraduate and graduate Nursing Science Program will provide academic and professional education in the discipline of nursing. Nursing is interdisciplinary and collaborative in its art and its science. The body of knowledge that comprises nursing science includes application of knowledge from the biological, social, behavioral and biomedical sciences. The programs will prepare graduates for basic clinical and advanced practice roles as well as for educational, administrative and research positions across the healthcare delivery system and for faculty positions in academic institutions.  Nursing Science research is formulated within an expanded view of health that includes health promotion, restoration and rehabilitation.  This program will promote outstanding research within the nursing science subspecialties as well as related areas of interest of faculty.
