Studying Off Campus
Our nursing department has outstanding partners throughout the region, a few of which include:

We also encourage students to participate in our reciprocal study abroad opportunities. We believe that by putting students in places where they’ll encounter cultural diversity, they grow personally and professionally.
During the J-term and other academic breaks, our faculty take interested students on clinical or service trips as far away as Ecuador, Norway, Namibia, and the Dominican Republic—and as close to home as the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and inner-city Minneapolis.
