Our Mission

The School of Nursing is dedicated to providing a rigorous Christ-centered education that develops and inspires highly skilled professional nurse leaders who are prepared to serve diverse communities with excellence, truth, integrity and compassion to promote health and healing.

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program builds on the baccalaureate nursing foundation, preparing professional nurse leaders guided by Christian principles. Graduate scholarly inquiry based on theory and evidence-based competencies provides the foundation for fulfillment of professional standards and core competencies.

The Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate after Graduate Education (CAGE) provides master’s-prepared nurses with additional nursing knowledge and clinical experience that will allow them to practice in collaborative and independent primary healthcare practices across the age span as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP).

The Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Certificate after Graduate Education provides master’s-prepared nurses with additional nursing knowledge and clinical experience that will allow them to practice in collaborative and independent primary healthcare practices to meet the needs of adults and senior adults as an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP).

The Psychiatric Mental Health Certificate after Graduate Education provides a certified nurse practitioner with additional knowledge and clinical experience that allows them to diagnose and treat patients with mental health diagnoses using medical management and therapy.

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares leaders at the highest level of nursing practice, guided by Christian principles, to use the best evidence to advance the profession and positively influence health outcomes for diverse populations.
