Nursing Education at the University of Rochester
A degree from the University of Rochester School of Nursing prepares you as a different kind of nurse — one who has completed a rigorous and cutting-edge program that leaves you well-equipped for what health care is today, and what it will be tomorrow.
Innovative Programs
Our top-ranked programs include a range of degree, post-degree, and certificate options to meet the needs of a diverse and broad spectrum of nursing and health care professionals.
Welcome!
For nearly a century the School of Nursing has been a pioneering force in advancing the nursing discipline. Today, we are recognized nationally as a leader in nursing education — where academic innovation is inspired not just by our mission to educate nurses, but to prepare students for success throughout their careers.
From day one, students receive close guidance from instructors who work in specialties and clinical settings across the UR Medicine health care system. This breadth of clinical expertise directly informs everyday classroom instruction where learning occurs by doing, creating, and collaborating in a competency-driven curriculum. This powerful learning environment – amplified by Apple technology — prepares graduates for lifelong learning and fosters the adaptivity needed in increasingly complex health care environments.
As a result, our nurses are prepared to not only improve patient care and become leaders in their field, but to redefine the role of nursing in the post-COVID era. Wherever you are in your nursing career, we hope you consider UR Nursing as the ideal place to pursue your goals.
