Academic Programs

Regardless of your academic preparation, the University of Virginia School of Nursing has a program that is right for you.

Our undergraduate programs admit those directly from high school as well as transfer students. We offer a direct-entry graduate program for motivated individuals who have a college degree in another subject. We also offer ten graduate specialty tracks at the master’s and post-master’s levels. Our PhD in nursing program admits students with either a BSN or MSN degree.

All of our academic programs draw upon the clinical strengths of the University of Virginia Health System, as well as on the academic richness of all of the schools and faculty of the University of Virginia. Development as a leader is an important element of a Virginia nursing education, and graduates are encouraged to transform the science and practice of nursing as professional nurses.
