Prospective / Incoming Graduate Students

Graduate education at the School of Nursing and Health Studies prepares nurse practitioners,
educators, and scientists for leadership positions in health care. Because of its geographic
location and affiliation with a major academic medical center, the school offers graduate students
what many institutions cannot: intra-professional educational and research opportunities, access
to leading-edge technologies, and hands-on experience with highly diverse patient populations
embodying some of today's most pressing healthcare.
