College of Nursing
Established in 1945, the college and the university share an urban research, teaching and service mission.
The College of Nursing is known for its innovative research to develop knowledge to build the scientific foundation for clinical practice; prevent disease and disability; manage and eliminate symptoms caused by illness; and enhance end-of-life and palliative care. Conducted in the context of an urban environment, the college’s research focuses on advancing nursing science to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes across the lifespan among diverse individuals, families and communities.
Detroit’s urban environment and Michigan’s revitalization provide many opportunities to investigate the health problems that cause disparities in minorities and other populations, and College of Nursing faculty and students are taking action.
The college is internationally recognized for preparing graduate and undergraduate students to become nurse leaders, scholars and researchers. Students are prepared with such state of the art technology as a state of the art simulation lab, which creates a hospital environment, giving students the opportunity to work in a situation similar to that of a clinical setting.
The 2011 fall enrollment in the College of Nursing is 715. Total enrollment includes 337 full-time and 378 part-time students.
