Pre-Nursing (BS)
Caring for others while integrating Christian faith.
Helping others is part of who you are—and the healthcare field is where you want to provide that help. The Pre-Nursing program at SWU will provide you with everything you need, including a strong foundation in science skills and the tools to become an effective communicator who integrates your Christian faith into everything you do.
The Pre-Nursing program is part of a partnership with Indiana Wesleyan University. You’ll spend three years here at SWU, complete your clinical nursing courses at IWU, and graduate with both a BS in Pre-Nursing from SWU and a BSN from IWU. The Pre-Nursing program reflects SWU’s commitment to providing excellent preparation for continuing education in the field of nursing, and you’ll benefit from personalized mentoring with caring faculty.
