College of Nursing
The College of Nursing at Brigham Young University, established in 1952, is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the simulation center is accredited by the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). Our mission is to learn the Healer’s art and to go forth and serve. Guided by the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we exemplify the Healer’s art by leading with faith and integrity; advancing the science of nursing and healthcare; promoting health and wellness; alleviating suffering; and serving individuals, families, and communities.
The College of Nursing has a Baccalaureate and a Master’s of Science in Nursing Program. Baccalaureate graduates are prepared to function in generalist roles in hospital and community settings. They also have excellent preparation for entrance into graduate programs. Graduates of the MS program are prepared as a family nurse practitioner.
The college faculty are committed to creating a stimulating learning environment based on Christian principles. They maintain a broad range of research and clinical interests.
Student resources include a fully equipped nursing learning center, a world-class simulation center where the extensive use of simulation provides a variety of instructional methodologies to support undergraduate and graduate education. Clinical practice opportunities exist in a variety of urban and rural hospital, school, home, and community settings along the Wasatch Front and throughout the State of Utah. Students may also gain extended experiences with specialized national and international health programs.
