Be with world-class faculty
We employ a highly qualified faculty – many of whom are renowned in their fields of study and are nationally and internationally recognized for their expertise. They are committed to helping students develop the knowledge and skills to become highly competent, compassionate nurse leaders, nurse scientists and nurse faculty.
Be a world of good
We are teaching the next generation of nurse leaders, educators, and scientists. Our graduates become chief nursing officers, nursing deans, and leading faculty members in schools throughout the U.S. and the world. We have graduates who have become the first advanced practice nurses working in rural Washington communities to diagnose and treat patients autonomously. Other graduates have improved data gathering and utilization in African nations to help nurses deliver the best care to their patients. Our students and alumni are doing more than reading about positive changes; they’re the catalysts making change happen—regionally and globally.
