For students with a baccalaureate degree in a non-nursing major, our intensive 22-month program leads to a master's-level qualification and is the ideal way to begin a nursing career.

The CNL program follows a sophisticated, patient-centered syllabus which prepares nurses to operate effectively in a multidisciplinary health care environment and provide leadership to their teams.

Eight clinical role development courses are a central part of the program, providing students with the theoretical grounding and clinical experience needed to care for patients in a variety of circumstances: from the childbearing family to the critically ill patient.

The final semester consists of an intensive clinical experience to further develop professional leadership and clinical skills. A variety of hospitals and community agencies provide College students with the best possible learning experiences in all areas of nursing practice.
