Consistently ranked as one of the top nursing schools in the country, FPB not only helps you land a great job when you graduate, but also makes you a part of a global network of leading practitioners, researchers, and educators.
Although there are many undergraduate nursing programs in the U.S., the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing (FPB) stands out as a leader thanks to our rich history and our world-renowned reputation as an innovator in nursing education, research, and service.
Four years in FPB's Bachelor of Nursing Science (BSN) program create a lifetime of opportunity. You will discover a rich, academic experience that combines a foundation in theory and practice with hands-on learning and leadership development in real-world healthcare settings.

FPB students are the only nursing students in the country who start their clinical placements the third week of the first semester of their freshman year

FPB is home to the country's first:
FPB hosts one of 10 World Health Organization Collaborating Centers that focus on nursing in the U.S. and one of 38 in the world
Our students routinely pass above the national average on the NCLEX, the RN licensure exam
