School of Nursing, Ball State University

The School of Nursing offers four tracks in the Baccalaureate program to prepare you for your first step into nursing or the next step up the educational ladder. The four tracks lead to the same degree in nursing, but were developed to address the educational differences within the four groups.

With the Baccalaureate degree you can work as a professional nurse in both structured and unstructured health care settings. You will also have the skills and credentials necessary to pursue graduate study.
