Known for excellence in nursing education, William Paterson University’s bachelor of science (B.S.) in nursing program prepares students for entry level practice as professional nurses in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and community health organizations. Graduates are well prepared for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), administered by the New Jersey Board of Nursing, to become professional nurses. They also gain a strong foundation for advanced education at the master’s and doctoral levels.

six semesters of clinical experience beginning sophomore year, obtained through University partnerships with 58 agencies in northern and central New Jersey.
a superior faculty that views students as partners in learning and values them as practitioners.
a nursing honors program through the University’s Honors College, available to nursing students with a GPA of 3.0 or above.
