School of Nursing
Welcome to the School of Nursing at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Since graduating our first nursing cohort in 1984, our school has continued to grow in size with over 2,100 alumni dedicating themselves to improving the health of communities across North Carolina and beyond. And while we are incredibly proud of this growth, our mission to prepare exceptional nurses for professional practice, and more recently, highly competent clinical researchers, has and always will remain the same.
We invite you to explore our site to learn more about the SON, our academic programs, our dedicated faculty, and see if a rewarding career in nursing is the right path for you. We truly hope you come soar in health with us!
