Nurses make up the largest group of health-care professionals in the U.S., with prolific opportunities to work overseas.

Our faculty are highly experienced in a variety of practice specialties. They have a passion for teaching, instilling their knowledge with experiential and hands-on learning and a dynamic curriculum that allows our graduates to adapt to a rapidly changing health-care environment.
