      BSN Traditional Student

    • I chose UTMB because of the small class sizes and cohort style. The flexibility of online classes was appealing and the required courses provide a comprehensive curriculum needed to be successful in executive leadership roles.

    • What I love about UTMB is the diversity among our student population and the opportunities it provides for a variety of clinical experiences at some of the most well recognized hospitals in the nation.

    • The core courses and the onsite clinical skill assessment check off with standardized patients helped prepare me to provide added expertise in the clinical settings as a clinical nurse educator.
