The B.S.N. in nursing (a 2+2 program with the University of Mississippi Medical Center) prepares graduates for entry-level professional nursing practice and provides a foundation for graduate education in nursing. Nurses have many critical roles in health care today, such as assessing physical and mental health; providing health care in complex environments; providing health education to individuals, families, and communities; and working in teams with other health care providers. Nurses may choose to be advanced practice clinicians, educators, researchers, and health care executives by advancing their education.
Students must have a 21 ACT/1080 SAT to declare a B.S. in Nursing (B.S.N.) on the University of Mississippi Oxford campus.
