An Emphasis on Research and Scholarship

Research and scholarship are emphasized throughout the nursing curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Many faculty members conduct research, and students have the opportunity to assist them, as well as to conduct research of their own, present their findings, and publish their scholarship.
