The College of NursingBack to topSeattle University College of Nursing is a learning community comprised of students, faculty, staff, and health care professionals who support each other in providing quality educational programs and pursuing scholarly endeavors. Our teaching style provides intense, individualized attention to each student's needs and goals. Classes are small, and with a student/faculty ratio of 10:1 in clinical settings, students and faculty may form solid relationships. Each student is assigned a faculty member as a personal advisor and mentor. Our professors work closely with students not only in the classroom, but also in clinical facilities, the clinical performance laboratory, and student organizations. The College of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The College of Nursing is also a member of the Partnership in Nursing Education (PNE) program with the Department of Military Science. The PNE program offers excellent summer nursing internships at hospitals around the world. Seattle University Army ROTC has many four, three, and two-year full nursing scholarships available.

BSN ProgramBack to topThe College of Nursing has a more than 70-year history of outstanding baccalaureate education in nursing, with an equally long tradition of community outreach and service. The aim of the College is to provide students with the critical thinking tools and educational preparation necessary for professional practice, combined with an emphasis on values and service to others derived from the Jesuit tradition. 
The College of Nursing offers a four-year, Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN) for basic undergraduate students with no previous education in nursing. Second-degree learners are also admitted to this program, or they may choose the Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion program leading to an MSN. The students and faculty of the College of Nursing are provided with spacious and modern office and conference room space in the College's recently renovated historic Garrand Building. Students practice in the State of the Art Clinical Performance Laboratory located in the James Tower where simulator mannequins are used to promote student competency and critical thinking skills. Clinical experience is provided for all nursing students through various cooperating health care agencies and community-based sites in the Seattle area. Many of these places for experiential learning are within walking distance of the University.
MSN ProgramBack to topConsistent with the educational mission of Seattle University's College of Nursing, the Master's program prepares nurses for careers in advanced nursing practice and in community leadership. The program emphasizes preparation of expert clinicians able to manage complex nursing activities. Further, graduates incorporate theoretical knowledge into specialized nursing roles, participate in advancement of nursing knowledge and health care, and assume responsibility for continued professional growth. Students may choose from the following tracks within the MSN program: Primary Care Nurse Practitioner: The PCNP track prepares professional nurses as nurse practitioners to provide direct primary care to individuals and families. This track offers two specializations:
Graduates of this track are prepared for independent and collaborative decision-making in disease prevention, health promotion and maintenance; physical and psychosocial assessment and management of health and illness. Leadership in Community Nursing: The LCN track offers two specializations: Program Development and Spirituality and Health. The Program Development specialization prepares Advanced Practice Nurses with the competencies to collaborate with community and organizational members and leaders, to design, implement, and evaluate health programs for vulnerable populations. The Spirituality and Health specialization prepares Advanced Practice Nurses to develop and support community-based initiatives or work with individuals, families and organizations regarding matters of spiritual health and spiritual well being. These nurses work primarily with individuals, families, and communities addressing life course transition, palliative care, or end-of-life issues. Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion: The Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion is an accelerated entry-to-practice option for people holding bachelor's degrees in non-nursing fields. It is a full-time, nine to eleven quarter program leading to the MSN and preparation as a primary care nurse practitioner.
