The Nursing program is designed to provide a sound program of general and nursing education that prepares graduates for the intellectual, ethical, and interpersonal dimensions of contemporary work, civic and family life, and career mobility. The Nursing program administration encourages diversity in its student body and develops a diverse faculty who actively engage students to address the diverse and cultural globalization of tomorrow’s health care systems.
Graduates are prepared to deliver safe, competent, and compassionate care using holistic principles in connection with technical competencies to promote, maintain, and restore optimum health in individuals, families, groups, and communities.
