Nursing (BSN)

Overview

Be a catalyst for change in today’s health care environment by answering the call to help others.

This rigorous program will prepare you to serve on the front lines of health care and take on the daily challenges of a rewarding career caring for others.

CUC’s program stands apart from the rest with:

  • High-impact, simulated patient scenarios for advancing real-world learning and practice.
  • Advanced practice nursing faculty who educate from “both sides of the bed”—teaching from the perspective of both bedside nurses and primary care providers.
  • CUC’s Lutheran, Christian foundation that values individuals as members of God’s creation, unique and blessed with inherent worth. The University embraces the true meaning of vocation—your calling in life.
  • A unique curriculum prepares you to think critically, build resilience, act professionally and advocate responsibly.
  • Individual attention: boutique-sized program allows for continued one-on-one instruction beyond the initial years of smaller classes.

Through robust theoretical and experiential learning, students will meet the eligibility requirements necessary to successfully gain licensure as a registered nurse generalist through completion of the National Council State Board of Nursing Examination (NCLEX-RN). Upon successful completion of the NCLEX, CUC nurse alumni will be prepared to assume the role of the registered nurse and help enhance the profession by becoming future nurse leaders.
