Our student population often begins at the undergraduate level and progresses sequentially to advanced levels of nursing education. Accordingly, faculty are expected to align their instructional approaches with the overarching curriculum and with the understanding that students learn from multiple faculty members and across multiple platforms of delivery. Faculty members use the resources of the School of Nursing to engage, inspire, and elevate student learning.

The Unification Model directs nursing education, research, and practice. Unification is not only a philosophical approach but also an organizational structure that operationalizes the interdependence among education, research, and practice.
