College of Nursing
Established in 1945, the college and the University share an urban research, teaching and service mission. 813 students, faculty and staff make up the College of Nursing.
The College of Nursing is known for its innovative research within its focal areas: self-care and care-giving and urban health. Detroit’s urban environment provides many opportunities to investigate the health problems that cause disparities in minorities and other populations and the College of Nursing faculty and students are taking action.
The College is internationally recognized for preparing graduate and undergraduate students to become nurse leaders, scholars and researchers. Students are prepared with such state of the art technology as the recently completed simulation lab, which creates a hospital environment, giving students the opportunity to work in an environment similar to that in a clinical setting.
The College of Nursing at Wayne State University is an academic center of excellence for healthy people and healthy communities.
The 2010 fall enrollment in the College of Nursing is 713 students. Total enrollment includes 334 full-time and 379 part-time students.
