The study of nursing prepares students to identify health needs, promote health behavior, and provide care for individuals and families in acute and chronic illness.
The undergraduate and graduate programs range from 3 programs leading to the bachelor’s degree, 10 master’s programs, 7 post master’s certificates, 2 advanced certificates, and a doctor of philosophy in nursing program. All programs emphasize the acquisition of clinical nursing expertise both for the beginner nurse as well as the experienced RN seeking advanced skills in practice and research in nursing outcomes. Students develop their ability to make decisions, practice creatively and imaginatively, and cope with change in a climate of scholarship, discovery and professional example.
Graduates of the University at Buffalo are prepared for beginning and advanced practice grounded in millennial knowledge in a discipline that focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation. The curriculum insures interaction with faculty in one to one mentoring, small group classes, conferences, and electronic media, as well as in traditional lectures. A multicultural student body enriches our learning community. Affiliations with Western New York’s major health care facilities allow nearly 250 potential student placements.
