• Major in Nursing and complete your studies in about 18 months!

The major in professional nursing, leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in nursing, involves learning in the areas of nursing theory, case management, human dynamics, organizational development, family and community health. This interdisciplinary program takes a systems approach to the problems, principles and practices of today's complex healthcare system, incorporating conceptual and theoretical knowledge.

Study in this program exposes you to:

• The importance of developing knowledge and skills necessary for new nurse roles in community-based environments as well as institutional settings with the advent of managed care and integrated delivery systems.
• The practical application of skills and theories in the classroom and through a field-based research project.
• The evaluation of issues and concepts central to the practice of professional nursing through the perspectives of historical, cultural, biblical and ethical standards.
