If you are a registered nurse seeking a baccalaureate degree in nursing, CUW offers a curriculum focusing on the liberal arts and nursing. Classes emphasizing adult education principles are also offered. These classes feature flexible scheduling in the late afternoons and evenings. The Nursing Programs at Concordia University Wisconsin are accredited by the National League for Nursing. The goal of occupational therapy is to assist individuals to achieve a maximum level of independent living by developing the capacities that remain after disease, accident or deformity.
Occupational therapy encompasses evaluation, treatment and consultation.
These services are provided individually, in groups, or through social systems. CUW's curriculum emphasizes taking a holistic way of viewing the environmental and cultural components for each individual in the treatment setting. CUW seeks to graduate people who are intellectually mature and capable of critical thinking and clinical reasoning, and who will continue to develop their professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Students will be encouraged to grow in personal wellness and lifestyle renewal, and to apply their Christian values as they practice occupational therapy in the workplace, and as they participate in the profession in the community, state, national, and international arena. These schools recognize and encourage a broad background in the liberal arts, including a variety of humanities and social science courses.
