Established in 1956, Bradley University’s Department of Nursing offers both undergraduate and graduate programs of study, as well as a special summer program for high school students.

In the undergraduate program, students master the beginning practice of professional nursing in a variety of settings. The program, which leads to a bachelor’s of science in nursing, serves undergraduate students, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses.

In the graduate program, professional nurses learn advanced nursing practice. This program leads to a master’s of science in nursing, focusing on either nursing administration or nurse administered anesthesia.
