Begin & Advance Your Nursing Career

WesternU’s College of Graduate Nursing programs are flexible and convenient – online/hybrid or in-person – designed for entry-level through advanced-level nurses who wish to continue working in their profession, keep family commitments, and live in the same community while pursuing a graduate education. This benefit is especially convenient for students living in rural areas, small communities, or on active military duty.

WesternU is founded upon a foundation of caring, science, and humanism. The College of Graduate Nursing builds upon that foundation with innovation, care for vulnerable populations, and leadership.

Commitment TO HUMANISM

Humanism is at the core of WesternU and encompasses values that we regard to be vital to our mission in health care, education, and community. These values include acceptance, altruism, compassion, diversity, empathy, fairness, inclusion, integrity, kindness, and respect. We embrace Humanism as a primary principle that shapes our actions, interactions, and institutional culture. Embracing Humanism empowers us to grow as individuals and as a community. It is a lifelong and daily commitment—one that requires intention, action, and reflection. Only through this ongoing practice can we truly embody WesternU Humanism and fulfill our mission to teach, to heal, together.
