School of Nursing

A passion for healing

The School of Nursing develops nurses ready to excel in today’s challenging health care context. As a nursing student, you will learn to care for people of all ages in both acute care settings and the community. Instructors and classroom experiences blend curricular rigor with a passion for care, a balance that develops you uniquely both to serve with professional excellence and to fulfill your sense of calling as you care and serve throughout your career. Nursing undergraduate students also participate in the Concordia Core, a rigorous, liberal arts curriculum integrated with Lutheran distinctives.

Our mission

The School of Nursing is dedicated to providing a rigorous Christ-centered education that develops and inspires highly skilled professional nurse leaders who are prepared to serve diverse communities with excellence, truth, integrity, and compassion to promote health and healing.

Our vision

The School of Nursing vision is to be a premier Christ-centered School of Nursing recognized locally, nationally, and internationally for transforming students into exceptional clinicians, educators, clinical scholars, and leaders who serve diverse groups in a changing healthcare environment to improve health outcomes for individuals, families, communities, and populations.
