Welcome to The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing. Our school is located at the flagship of the University of Texas System and is a national leader in nursing education and research. We presently have approximately 800 nursing students — from undergraduate pre-nursing students taking required pre-requisites to doctoral students completing independent research.
Our faculty includes skilled clinicians, advanced practice nurses, distinguished scholars, and educators whose internationally recognized research influences health care delivery and policy. Through rigorous curricula and innovative classroom, clinical, and community experiences, they prepare both undergraduate and graduate students to promote health and improve outcomes in the 21st century.
We prepare BSN graduates for professional nursing practice and leadership; MSN graduates for opportunities in advanced practice (clinical nurse specialist), education, and leadership; DNP graduates for leadership in clinical settings; and PhD graduates for leadership in research, education, and administration.
The School of Nursing is a vibrant community of talented students, accomplished faculty, dedicated staff, and engaged alumni and friends — all committed to addressing complex health care challenges through education, research, and service.
Whether you are a prospective student, researcher, alumni member, or community partner, I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the people, programs, and discoveries that define the UT Austin School of Nursing.
