Welcome
The WSU College of Nursing is proud of its reputation for quality education. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students who graduate from our undergraduate program consistently achieve one of the highest rates of passage of first-time candidates on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses in Washington state. Graduates of undergraduate and graduate programs are highly sought after for their excellence in nursing practice.
Founded in 1968, the WSU College of Nursing is the first and largest public/private nursing education consortium in the United States and provides upper division undergraduate nursing education in partnership with Eastern Washington University and Whitworth University. The college is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
Serving more than 1,000 students annually, the College is a leader in distance learning with students studying in Spokane, Yakima, Tri-Cities and Vancouver. As the largest volume user of time on the AMS (Academic Media Services) network, students at all College of Nursing sites benefit from instruction and resources not otherwise available at their home sites.
The College also offers an RN to BSN program based at all sites.
The Master of Nursing (MN) program prepares nurses for leadership and advanced practice in Advanced Population Health.
The Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhD) is offered over two summers, three fall and three spring semesters with courses clustered two to three times per week.
A new practice doctorate degree, the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), is beginning in Fall 2012 in Spokane and Vancouver.
