Description of Major
Nurses with a baccalaureate degree in nursing are in high demand for a variety of positions within hospitals and other health care agencies in communities. These nurses advance rapidly into positions of increasing responsibility and leadership in nursing. The nursing program is an upper division major with required sequential course offerings and elective courses in nursing. The nursing courses are based on concepts and principles from liberal studies, the supporting biological and behavioral sciences and nursing theory. This theoretical base is used with the nursing process in the systematic development of care plans for providing nursing care to individuals and groups in a variety of health care settings.

The principal goal of nursing is to provide essential personal and social services to humans through the conscious selection of activities designed to assist in meeting client needs, while protecting legal rights and human dignity. For the professional nurse, this goal is accomplished through the application of the nursing process and facilitated through the use of research. Through utilization of the nursing process, enhanced by interdisciplinary collaboration, the professional nurse guides the individual, family and/or group toward achievement and maintenance of a state of optimal physical and psychosocial health. The graduate is committed to personal, intellectual and professional development and has the foundation for graduate study. Graduates qualify to take the licensing examination for professional nursing.

The College admits upper-division transfer students who have successfully completed the program prerequisites and have competitive GPA's. Upper-division transfer applicants should note that in addition to the regular University application, they must also complete an online application for the College of Nursing, . Please see “Admissions Requirements” below.
