Nursing is studied as a discipline of knowledge and as a profession grounded in Caring Science in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. Upon fulfillment of program outcomes, students will earn the BSN degree. This degree is the foundation of professional Nursing.

The Doctor of Philosophy with major in Nursing (PhD) degree program prepares nurses as scholars in conducting nursing research about practice problems and creating innovative responses to practice issues. The program is expected to expand nursing knowledge and theory and directly impact the health of communities.
