Division of Nursing
The philosophy of the faculty of Spring Hill College Division of Nursing supports the mission of the College.
In keeping with this philosophy, the Spring Hill College Division of Nursing provides quality baccalaureate and master's nursing education, in a Jesuit liberal arts environment, that prepares men and women for careers as caring practitioners in a changing health care setting.
Through professional nursing courses, Spring Hill students become critical, careful, conscientious health care professionals committed to excellence and responsibility. These courses also emphasize the ethical responsibilities which all health care professionals must exercise.
The Program
The Division of Nursing offers a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) and a Masters Degree in Nursing (MSN). A five year Pre-Med Nursing Degree is also available. The BSN degree option consists of two phases: pre-professional or pre-nursing and professional or nursing. Any student enrolled in the College may be enrolled in the pre-nursing portion of the program, but this does not assure admission into the professional component. The pre-professional phase consists of the courses included in the first four semesters of the program. To enter the professional component a student must apply to the Division of Nursing. Enrollment is limited and the admission process is selective and competitive. Spring Hill College students who have been enrolled for two traditional semesters, excluding summer, will receive priority for admission placement. When the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of students which can be accommodated in the clinical courses, students are admitted according to grade point average ranking. Applicants must meet all requirements, as outlined the the Bulletin of Information, and apply during the spring semester prior to enrollment in the professional component.
