Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Our BSN program at Miami balances a classic liberal arts education with professional nursing courses and provides a pathway for nursing leadership roles and entry into the master's program. Our BSN program is offered at both the Oxford and Hamilton campuses. You'll explore health promotion, prevention, restoration, and maintenance for individuals and communities. Clinical study adds a hands-on, real-life experience to round out classroom and laboratory work.

Doctor of Nursing Practice

Launching in fall 2024, Miami's first doctoral nursing program prepares candidates for future careers in organizational/systems leadership roles. Designed to segue seamlessly from our MSN, the DNP requires traditional classwork—all conducted via an online format—as well as practicum courses. The practicum serves as a comprehensive, systematic assessment of complex organizational environments with a focus on quality improvement and quality outcomes, and coincides with specialty electives and additional clinical work.

Our Nursing Resource Centers (NRCs) are designed for learning essential nursing skills using low-fidelity manikins, audiovisual materials, and other medical equipment. Staffed by Master's-prepared directors and student employees, the NRCs also feature high-fidelity simulation manikins to add greater depth to student learning by simulating patient experiences.

Miami University's Nursing Simulation Education Center utilizes innovative learning to bridge the gap between theory and clinical education.
