Welcome to the College of Nursing
University of Cincinnati!

As you peruse our web site, note how our faculty, staff, students and alumni work together to promote our motto: Excellence in Education, Research, Service and Practice!

Excellence in Education is our first and foremost goal. As one of the first Baccalaureate programs in nursing, the College has a heritage of providing quality education from its inception in 1889. The College of Nursing was the recipient of the first endowment ever given to a nursing program. In 2002, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accredited the College of Nursing for a ten-year period. With this approval, the College has the distinction of being continuously accredited for 71 years.

Excellence in Research continues to grow as a focus in the Nursing profession, and our College is no exception. The demand for doctoral-prepared and research-oriented nurses is constantly growing. Our Institute for Nursing Research provides the resources needed to create and present the outstanding research of our faculty and students.

Excellence in Service is an integral theme in both the professional and personal goals of our faculty and staff. Service to the students, parents, alumni and public is a main concern. An example of our service to the community is the Health Resource Center started and administered by College of Nursing faculty Dr. Cornelia R. Wilson. Many faculty hold national appointments in professional nursing organizations and on nursing boards providing their knowledge as a service to the profession.

Excellence in Practice has always been a focus of the College of Nursing. We continue to strive for excellence in our practice of education. The international experiences of our students in Honduras are examples of our innovative work in providing practice experiences.
