Skip to the head of the line for Nursing Program acceptance and get a guaranteed cohort spot in a future Nursing class!
Newman University's prestigious Nursing Program is accepted by the healthcare industry as one of the most-coveted programs in the Midwest. Normally, students apply for the Nursing Program after completing a series of pre-requisite and general education courses in their first two years as undergraduate students.
