Prepare to Make a Difference

Intro text

When you choose to pursue nursing at UW-Eau Claire, you join a program that has a long-standing reputation of excellence. Through your studies, you will be challenged by a curriculum that is interwoven in a variety of disciplines — such as the natural and social sciences, humanities and nursing-specific science courses.

Intro Text

Majors and Minors in Nursing

Here, being a nursing student is about more than just taking the classes, passing the exams, and getting across that stage at graduation. It's about learning how to solve complex challenges, how to interact with real patients, and how to apply what you've learned in the classroom to real-world situations. It's about learning how to become a great nurse, nurse educator, or nurse administrator. And when you leave UW-Eau Claire, you will be ready to take on any situation because of the great experience you will gain through clinicals, lab simulations, and cultural immersion experiences.
