What You’ll Learn: End-of-Program Student Learning Outcomes (EPSLOs)

 

We are passionate about increasing the number of qualified people of color in the nursing profession. We believe well-rounded students make the best nurses.  Our liberal arts-based curriculum is infused with content from the social sciences, arts, humanities, and computer science, as well as health and science. The nursing program creates opportunities for nursing school graduates in a broad range of healthcare-related careers.

As a nursing major, at the end of the program, you will achieve the following outcomes:

• Provide holistic, compassionate, and patient-centered care that is evidence-based and respects individual and community needs and improves outcomes. 
• Encourage collaborative problem solving to ensure health promotion and disease prevention strategies are grounded in critical thinking. 
• Integrate healthcare technology and digital tools, and informatics for patient-centered decision making. 
• Ensure nursing practice aligns with cultural, social, and ethical principles, emphasizing the understanding of diverse patient needs. 
• Encourage critical appraisal and application of research in practice, ensuring nursing interventions are guided by best evidence to improve outcomes. 
• Encourage advocacy in shaping healthcare policies and reinforcing adherence to ethical, legal, and policy-driven standards. 
• Promote adaptability and responsiveness to initiatives addressing social determinants of health and other global health challenges. 

The baccalaureate nursing program prepares students to become generalists practicing within the ethical and legal framework of professional nursing. Your education will equip you to not only meet the changing health care needs of diverse populations, but it will also prepare you to be a leader.
