We’re one of only a few nursing programs in the United States with a cultural immersion experience – Study-Service Term gives you the opportunity to work at a local health clinic in a third-world country, strengthening your cultural sensitivity. Pair that with opportunities like the annual student-run mock nursing convention, which will keep you involved with current issues in the nursing world, and by the time you graduate, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to be a cut above the rest.
