Classroom in the community
Missouri State’s nursing program differs from other nursing departments in the United States through its unique emphasis on community care. As a student, you will benefit from this community connection through many of the following:
- You will have the opportunity to complete clinical experiences in hospitals, clinics and facilities which provide care to the underserved of the region.
- You will receive hands-on training from preceptors – professional nurses from within the community – who serve as mentors during clinical hours.
- You will have the opportunity to be involved in student organizations, participate in study away trips and use state-of-the-art facilities, including a simulation laboratory.
- You will be placed in small groups, assigned a faculty supervisor during community clinicals and receive hands-on-training.
- Class sizes in all of our programs will allow you to develop close working relationships with faculty and peers.
Preparing professionals at every level
The Department of Nursing at Missouri State is a part of the College of Health and Human Services. Housed in the Professional Building, the department offers two undergraduate programs, one minor, a master's in nursing with two specialization options, two post-graduate certificates and a doctor of nursing practice with two degree options. Programs in the nursing department are accredited by the Commission on College Nursing Education (CCNE). CCNE accreditation for the DNP programs is planned.
