MISSION

In alignment with the AUHS mission, School of Nursing (SON) prepares students to make a positive impact on society through the provision of competent, caring, and evidence-based nursing care to diverse patient populations. This mission is accomplished by recruiting and graduating diverse students, especially students from minority groups that are under-represented in the nursing community and preparing them to deliver competent, culturally sensitive, caring, and evidence-based nursing services to all persons in need. The SON shares the core values of the University including a belief in Christian Values, a holistic approach to education, promotion of the intellectual, analytical, and critical thinking abilities of its students, evidence-based knowledge, and a commitment to teaching/learning, research, service, and scholarship.
