UNI Adds Nursing Program

The University of Northern Iowa has announced that they will add a nursing program starting in the fall of 2024, according to KCRG. The Iowa Board of Regents on Thursday approved the move to add a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. UNI President Mark Nook says campus leadership will be working to develop the program and curriculum ahead of the launch. Nook noted that registered nurses are the top employment need in Iowa and nursing is the most in-demand field of study among Iowa students seeking a four year degree. A Director of Nursing and Chief Academic Nurse Administrator will be named in the near future.
