Academic Programs

The College offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) for traditional students and a 14-month accelerated BSN partnership program for college graduates. The BSN curriculum prepares the professional nurse through extensive study in the concepts and skills of patient assessment, patient care management, and evaluation of patient care outcomes and the impact of ethical, legal and technological strategies. Traditional program students begin the nursing major after completion of required college level prerequisite courses. Accelerated partnership students must have an earned non-nursing baccalaureate degree and complete college level prerequisite courses.

The College offers two online doctoral programs.  The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) with a major in nursing.  U.S. News & World Report (2007) ranked the College of Nursing’s graduate programs among the top 6% in the United States.

The "First in Arizona" Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepares the nurse at the highest level of advanced nursing practice.  The DNP is similiar to other practice doctorates such as the MD, JD, PTD and Pharm D.  The DNP offers four advanced practice specialites for students seeking nurse practitioner preparation:  Adult Acute Care, Adult, Family and Adult Psychiatric-Mental Health.  The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has called for the adoption by 2015 of the DNP as the terminal nursing practice degree. 


The state-of-the-art PhD program is designed to prepare scientists to conduct theory-based research in nursing, to engage in scholarly dialogue, and to contribute to the development of nursing knowledge. The PhD curriculum is designed as a full time, three-year, 64 credit post-master’s program, or a full time, four-year, 79 credit post-baccalaureate program. The PhD program provides a learning matrix of course work, collegial relationships, community networks, mentored research, and collaboration in scholarship.
