The nursing curriculum at Millikin University is soundly based in both the natural sciences and the liberal arts. This multidisciplinary approach encourages development of skills in several key areas: To cultivate the experience and skills necessary to work effectively with individuals from a variety of cultures and professional backgrounds; explore complex issues through a critical thinking framework that bridges the gap between theory and practice; and learn the art and the science of advocating for patient well-being, both within and outside of the health care system.
Students entering the School of Nursing may earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree, or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree.
Millikin offers a traditional BSN Track for students who wish to complete a baccalaureate nursing degree in order to be eligible to take the National Council of State Board of Nursing Licensure Exam in any state in the U.S. to become Registered Professional Nurses.
The School of Nursing also offers an online RN-BSN Track for students who have graduated from an accredited NLN associate degree or diploma school of nursing, who are already Registered Professional Nurses, and who wish to earn their baccalaureate nursing degree in order to advance their career opportunities.
