At The University of Akron College of Nursing the dynamic changes in health care and nursing are viewed as opportunities to be explored, not problems to overcome. Students in baccalaureate and master s programs are exposed to a broad knowledge base and numerous practice experiences to prepare for the ever changing health care environment. Doctoral students will engage in academic discourse that will enable them to make contributions in the scholarship of discovery, integration, teaching, and application. In this new millennium, The College of Nursing is committed to promoting the values of E xcellence, D iversity, and U nity. Excellence is noted in the quality of our academic programs and resulting clinical competency of graduates.
Graduates are ready for roles in practice, administration, education, and research.
Further, faculty support professional diversification. We continually develop academic programs that prepare nurses for leadership roles. Faculty view the global community as the practice environment for professional nursing. Thus, students have the opportunity to practice in diverse clinical settings, including international locations. Equally important is that well planned curricular experiences help students understand client needs in the context of cultural diversity.
