The 120-credit program features a Nursing Simulation Center where students practice clinical skills, develop critical thinking, and build confidence in a controlled learning environment.
Students also gain practical experience through clinical partnerships with regional health care facilities and a final-semester internship that helps prepare them for the transition from the classroom to professional nursing practice.
