In Quinnipiac's School of Nursing, learning occurs in a highly personalized, student-centered community that promotes academic excellence. We view nursing as both a science and an art that is creative, goal-directed, research-based and concerned with the health and dignity of the whole person. Our goal is to prepare graduates for professional nursing practice who are capable of providing holistic care for diverse individuals, families, communities and populations in a variety of settings.
