Student Profile
Name: Amanda Kack
Major: Nursing
“A liberal arts college is so beneficial for nursing. When caring for patients, it is essential to provide a holistic approach, and this is the advantage you receive graduating with a liberal arts degree. With the background classes of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, I feel that I am competent and have established a firm base knowledge to continue to build on.” Read more
Overview of Program
The nursing major:
- Integrates the fundamental sciences required for professional nursing practice with the liberal arts curriculum that helps you care for patients holistically.
- Unlike other programs, does not include a chemistry requirement.
- Has recently designed a preceptored clinical immersion experience for students' fourth year. That puts you in a real clinic working 2-3 full shifts a week.
Exciting Innovations ...
Help us keep up with the ever-changing world of health care. That's why we have sponsored an international study program for nursing students. And, because nursing is both a science and an art, we are doing innovative work as both a vocation and as a ministry. We want our students to be ready for a career in nursing in every way.
