Introduction
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and the State Board of Nursing
approved the baccalaureate nursing program in 1974. Since that time, the program
has grown from a Department of Nursing to a School of Nursing and in 1993, the
School of Nursing was reformulated as the College of Nursing and Health Science
to provide the breadth needed to respond to dramatic and dynamic fundamental changes
occurring in health care. The college's community-based curriculum has become
a national and international model serving to inform and guide curriculum change
as decentralization trends move the focus of health care from the institutional
to regional and local community-based care.
The mission of the college is to equip professionals to provide leadership,
care, and services related to health promotion, wellness, disease prevention,
and quality of life through the promotion of physical, social, and environmental
health practices. Graduates practice in a variety of roles in settings that are
complex, multicultural, and constantly changing. The college is a resource for
health promotion to the university, as well as to the citizens of the Commonwealth
of Virginia.
