Our students learn how to do the work of nursing not only in our excellent on-campus facilities but in clinical placement programs where they work alongside real-world registered nurses delivering care to patients.
Social and Behavioral Sciences

Many of our students carry their love of social sciences into Master’s or Doctoral degree. Paired with an MBA, fields like Psychology and Sociology can give you an effective set of tools for managing complex social structures and interactions in the workplace.
