The Division of Nursing has educational programs designed to meet the diverse lifestyles and demands of today's student. The Division has three distinguished programs of study leading to an associate, bachelor or master of science in nursing degree. A feature that distinguishes MUW's program from other nursing programs is the preceptorship requirement before graduation. Since the inception of The W's nursing program in the 1970s, the pass rate of baccalaureate degree students on the national licensure examination has been over 99 percent. Students in these programs of study frequently enter dentistry, graduate school, medicine or veterinary science.
Teacher certification is available for all areas.
Pre-professional course curricula also are available for students entering cytotechnology, dental hygiene, engineering, medical technology and pharmacy. Sixty-seven of the female graduates from the 1970s and 1980s have gone on to earn doctorates or medical doctorates. Graduates have gone on to win state and national awards as teachers in secondary schools. In addition to academic opportunities, The W offers a wide variety of student activities and is home to some 75 student organizations. From our NCAA Division II intercollegiate teams to our tradition-rich social clubs there is something for everyone at The W. With 104 acres in the residential area of Columbus and 24 buildings on The National Register of Historic Places, The W provides a safe and beautiful environment for students.
