The Department of Nursing is nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Its primary mission is the education of students who will serve as professional nurses in various health care delivery settings.

Nursing courses include a clinical laboratory component in which faculty guide students in the development and application of knowledge and skills in a variety of health care settings. An on-campus learning center provides a large inventory of audiovisual materials, carrel room, computer laboratory, hospital equipment, and supplies for student laboratory experiences.
