Bachelor of Science in Nursing

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing combines the "art and science" of nursing with a foundation in the liberal arts to prepare graduates who will assume the scope of practice expected of the professional nurse. The theoretical, laboratory, and clinical patient care experiences support learning and exposure to the profession. The Nursing pre-licensure program is designed for the non-nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse who desires a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Preparing students for the future of nursing practice, the program requires students to participate in face-to-face course formats with extensive online resources. All laboratory, patient care, and face-to-face course work is only offered at the Parkville, MO campus. Acceptance to the program is competitive. Initial approval by the Missouri State Board of Nursing and has been awarded for the Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (pre-licensure) program at Park University.

Our motto, fides et labour (Latin for “faith and work”) is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. A Park University education is an opportunity to find faith in yourself — by discovering your potential and working to realize it.
