Our Faculty: Learn from Leaders

The stimulating programs that meet the needs of today’s nurse and tomorrow’s health care system reflect the quality of the College of Nursing’s faculty. Learn from these doctorally-prepared, acclaimed nursing leaders. Many have served as consultants on national advisory committees, commissions, and accrediting bodies. Others have served as international consultants and educators in such far-reaching areas as Oman, Jordan, Kenya, and the Philippine Islands.

Our faculty have a variety of research interests and have published widely in national and international journals. They are frequently called upon to present their research findings to audiences around the world. All of our clinical faculty are certified registered nurse practitioners and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Our faculty, well-respected for their areas of specialization, lead the graduate classes and collaborate with students on a daily basis.

The professors here are excellent mentors who are both expert in their subject areas and caring towards their students.

Faculty share their expansive knowledge and experience through:

  • Academic Advisement
    Advisement is a careful, deliberate process of consultation regarding course of study, career development, and trends in health care. You will be assigned an academic advisor upon acceptance into our Graduate Program. You may wish to meet with one of our academic advisors prior to application to discuss the program options and curriculum. Appointments can be arranged by calling 610.519.4934.
  • Personalized Attention
    Seminar class sizes are kept small enough for individual growth and attention, but large enough for exposure to diverse ideas and strategies.
