The College of Nursing and Health Sciences is a community of scholars and practitioners committed to a holistic, lifespan approach to health and health care. Our mission to integrate the diverse factors involved in this model of care occurs through education, critical inquiry, leadership, and service. 
The University of Vermont is ranked among the "10 Best Colleges to Study Health Professions" for its number of quality majors within the field, small class sizes and collaborative learning with professors, and high salaries following graduation and at the mid-career level.
A new health sciences degree completion program planned for this fall at the University of Vermont will be an undergraduate major offered entirely online.
