Women and men seeking a baccalaureate degree in nursing will find a quality program to prepare them for professional nursing practice in a variety of acute care and community settings, with opportunities for graduate study and continuing education. Nursing majors at SJSU receive clinical experience in community-health agencies, Nurse-Managed Centers and local hospitals under the guidance of nursing faculty from the university. The pre-licensure nursing program is an innovative academic program that emphasizes professional education based on strong general education. The post-licensure program provides opportunities for registered nurses to earn the baccalaureate degree at a pace that fits their lifestyle. The graduate program in nursing offers additional opportunities for nurses to obtain advanced nursing education in several options. The post-master's certificate programs permit those nurses with master's degrees in nursing to earn a specialized certification for advanced practice.
