Reclassifying the school to a college opens the door for providing opportunities for endowed scholarships, professorships and chairs, as well as naming opportunities for the college. It also will help better promote graduate programs in nursing education, with plans to move into doctoral education with Doctor of Nursing Practice and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
Already offering a number of degree options, UH’s nursing program offers degrees to suit all career levels, from freshly minted nurses to experienced nurses wishing to expand upon their training by securing additional degrees. Of particular importance in today’s health care climate is the college’s Second Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
