College of Nursing
Concerned with facing a serious shortage of medical caregivers, state legislators
authorized the construction of a medical center at the University in 1956. Later,
with the advent of associate degree programs, Dean Marcia Dake, Ed.D., R.N.,
decided to move forward with graduate training. The first class entered the
Master of Science in Nursing Program in the fall of 1970. The first students
enrolled in the Ph.D. program in 1987, nearly 10 years after initial steps toward
creating it were taken. Today the program averages 38 students.
The College of Nursing prepares nurse leaders to practice in an ever-changing
health care environment, to contribute to the knowledge base of the discipline
through an active program of nursing and interdisciplinary research, and to
engage in collaborative and cooperative relationships for the purpose of modeling
excellence
in nursing education, research, service and practice.
