With the oldest Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing program in Indiana, Goshen College has an excellent reputation for producing top-notch nurses. We’ve been teaching nursing long enough to know that health care is more than memorizing anatomy — it’s about caring for the whole individual. Since 1950, we have been sending out nursing professionals who demonstrate cross-cultural awareness and holistic care. Employers say they prefer Goshen College graduates because they provide compassionate, culturally sensitive and quality care for patients.
