At the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, clinical practice experiences start the very first semester of freshman year. Students also begin their undergraduate education in our major research university immersed in small interdisciplinary seminars through SAGES--the Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship. Embarking on an educational journey at the Bolton School is an exciting experience, with much to anticipate and prepare!
