Mission
Mission of the School of Nursing:
Our mission is to provide students a foundation for success as graduate nurses who are ethical, competent critical thinkers by providing an educational environment that promotes holistic health care in an educational community dedicated to teaching, research, creativity and service.
The mission of the School of Nursing is congruent with both the mission of the College of Sciences and Mathematics (CSM) and the University. The three mission statements address providing the student a foundation for success, a commitment to ethical and responsible citizenship and professionalism, and an educational environment dedicated to teaching, research, creativity and service.
