Degrees & Programs

St. Ambrose offers four nursing degree programs tailored specifically for our undergraduate and graduate students: a bachelor of science in nursing, a bachelor of nursing for college graduates, an RN-BSN and a master of science in nursing administration.

Smaller classes, higher levels of support

You will learn at a pace that's right for you, and have the opportunity to work side-by-side with faculty to master the material. With labs limited to 8 to 12 students per faculty member, classes are small enough to foster lasting bonds with professors and fellow students. This personal attention will support you throughout your career.

Hands-on learning

With more than 700 hours of clinical experience in health care settings, and 150 hours of clinical lab experience, you'll be prepared for the pace of real-world practice. You'll learn in the state-of-the-art St. Ambrose Center for Health Sciences Education, located on the west campus of Genesis Medical Center. Renowned St. Ambrose academic programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology and social work allow you to collaborate with undergraduate and graduate students from across the health sciences.

Degrees that can go places

After graduation, you can take your bachelor of science in nursing degree in many directions-and you'll be in demand. Nursing is a smart career choice, whether you stay in the Quad Cities or venture further afield. Discovernursing.com estimates a need for 800,000 additional nurses nationwide by 2020.
