Located in the Greater Philadelphia region, we offer an array of nursing programs including bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in nursing education and nursing practice.

We’re one of only eight schools recognized by the National League for Nursing (NLN) as a Center of Excellence in Advancing the Science of Nursing Education, and in 2020 we were also designated as a Center of Excellence in a second category in the area of Enhancing Student Learning and Professional Development.
