Our faculty
believe that:
- Health
is a process
in which all
dimensions
of the
person are
in harmony
with the
whole.
-
Nursing is a
discipline
with a
unique body
of knowledge
that
facilitates
clients’
optimal
holistic
health.
-
Baccalaureate
nursing
education
offers
students the
opportunity
to obtain a
liberating
education,
elect areas
of study and
develop
competencies
in their
chosen
discipline.
As a Catholic
and Franciscan
University,
inspired by our
dedication to
God as Creator,
Redeemer and
Sanctifier, we
value the
sanctity of
human life,
human community,
service,
openness to all
and hold a
reverence for
all of creation.

in a rapidly
changing society and
