The School of Nursing

A regional needs assessment indicated a looming crisis in the availability of nurses to provide care in southern Nevada for the burgeoning population, many of whom are of retirement age. A strategic plan was implemented to provide Clark County with a nursing school that would provide undergraduate and graduate-level education for students who want to further their education. The School of Nursing prepares highly competent, qualified and caring nurses who meet the health needs and expectations of individuals, families, communities and the profession.

School of Occupational Therapy

The School of Occupational Therapy received an impressive seven-year accreditation in December 2006 from the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE). The faculty boasts exceptional depth and variety of clinical and academic experience. A significant majority of the School's faculty are doctoral-prepared. The entry-level master's degree curriculum can be completed in only 24 months making this program an efficient investment.
