🏫 College of Nursing
The College of Nursing was founded in 1950 and its baccalaureate degree nursing program was nationally accredited in 1952. With over 7,000 graduates, the College has a proud history of preparing nurses for professional practice and research in diverse settings.
The College offers undergraduate and graduate programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP).
The undergraduate programs are approved by the Florida Board of Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The mission of the College of Nursing is to educate clinicians, leaders, scholars, and advanced practitioners who can enhance the quality of life for people of all cultures, economic levels, and geographic locations. The College integrates liberal arts and science with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for lifelong learning, personal responsibility, and sustained achievement in the nursing profession and the communities in which our graduates reside.
At the completion of the program, the student will have met all major requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The traditional graduate of the nursing program also will have met the academic eligibility requirements for taking the national licensing examination for registered nurses (NCLEX).
The program is an upper division limited access 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 nursing care for individuals and groups in a variety of health care settings.
The college recently accepted its largest undergraduate cohort in the college’s history with 150 students who began the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in the Fall 2023 semester.
This move is a direct reflection of the college’s work to boost enrollment and address the nursing workforce shortage facing the country, especially in Florida.
