Humans for humankind.

Our responsibility to prepare health care professionals who will make a positive difference in their patients’ lives makes student satisfaction and success a focus and strength in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. CNHS offers professional preparation, personalized advising, close community and hands-on experience – early and often.

Whether our students are in the clinical simulation lab or clinical sites across the state, region and nation, they gain hands-on experience side-by-side with health professionals in their fields. In CNHS, we educate the next generation of health care professionals through a purposeful continuum of population and patient care: preventing illness and injury, managing disease and disability, and promoting health and wellness.

Our Mission

The College of Nursing and Health Sciences endeavors to prepare graduates who lead and collaborate with stakeholders across disciplines to foster exemplary interprofessional, compassionate, and family-centered services, and create and use knowledge that contributes to the health and wellness of individuals, communities and society.
