University of Illinois Chicago College of Nursing

The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Nursing is the largest and most prestigious source of nursing leadership for Illinois and beyond. As a college, we are dedicated to advancing nursing leadership by pursuing excellence in research, education and practice.

At UIC, a student can earn a baccalaureate, master's or doctoral degree in nursing science. We also offer a BSN-to-PhD option, a BSN-to-DNP option and a RN mobility from an AD/Diploma to a BSN degree and higher. Our Graduate Entry Program is designed for students who have a baccalaureate in another field and wish to pursue educational preparation in the foundations of nursing as well as a Master's in Nursing. Upon successful completion of this program, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

Instruction is provided in Chicago, Peoria, Quad-Cities, Rockford and Urbana-Champaign. The UIC College of Nursing houses the first World Health Organization (WHO) U.S. Collaborating Center for Nursing and Midwifery. Through our UIC Nursing Institute, we provide leadership in lifelong education, academic nursing practice and health care policy.

Our faculty are accomplished teachers, researchers and clinicians. Concentrated into three departments, we conduct research and impart this knowledge to our undergraduate and graduate students. High expectations and modeling of applied research supports the development of life-long learning and leadership skills in our students. Many faculty members are active in clinical practice and provide access to clinical sites. We are closely partnered with UIC Medical Center, Advocate Healthcare System, Provena-Covenant Medical Center, MacNeal Hospital, Northwestern (University) Memorial Hospital, Children's Memorial Hospital, the University of Chicago Medical Center, St. James Hospitals and Health Center, and Thresholds among others.

Today's nurses practice in a variety of health care settings, such as hospitals and community-based settings like clinics, nursing centers, outpatient facilities, parishes and homes. A degree from UIC provides an excellent foundation for a broad spectrum of nursing leadership opportunities. It can serve as a stepping-stone for a fulfilling, lifetime career as a nursing leader. UIC offers an excellent education with the nation's best nursing leaders as teachers. You will be surrounded by energetic and supportive peers, receive personal and professional guidance, as well as receive outstanding clinical experiences.

At entry-level, it is an upper division professional practice program built on a liberal arts and sciences foundation. At an enhanced level, it builds on the technical expertise of RNs with a community college degree or hospital-based nursing school diploma.
