History and Overview

The College of Nursing offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in nursing. The undergraduate degree is the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and the graduate degrees are the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in nursing science.

The placement of the College of Nursing in the Health Science Center offers a unique opportunity to learn and work with students from other health professions. The colleges of the Health Science Center and their associated health care delivery networks provide students access to an integrated system of community hospitals and clinics, statewide home health care, a veterans' health system and quaternary care at Shands Hospital at UF. The College of Nursing maintains and participates in nursing and interdisciplinary clinics for women, children, adults and the elderly with special emphasis on under-served and rural populations.

The baccalaureate nursing degree prepares graduates to enter professional positions in primary, secondary and tertiary care settings with clients of all ages from diverse populations, or for advancement to a graduate degree program in nursing.

The college's programs are accredited by the Florida State Board of Nursing, the National League for Nursing and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
