Mission Statement
The UCSF School of Nursing will use its educational, research, and clinical expertise — and its global leadership position — to anticipate and respond to the rich and ever-changing environment in which we train diverse health care professionals, conduct research, deliver care, and provide public service.
Educational Excellence
Whether you are considering application to our Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), to one of our many Master of Science program specialty areas, or to a doctoral (PhD) program, the UCSF School of Nursing teaches you how to ask and answer the questions that drive advances in clinical care, research, and the training of fellow nurses.
Research Excellence
The UCSF School of Nursing has been among those forging a critical role for nurse researchers, which balances our profession’s unique strengths with opportunities for inter-professional, translational work. In 2011, and five times in the last eight years, UCSF has been ranked first among US Schools of Nursing in National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding.
Patient Care Excellence
Faculty from the UCSF School of Nursing fill leadership roles at some of the San Francisco Bay Area's most widely respected community clinics, outpatient facilities, and hospitals, including UCSF Medical Center, which was ranked seventh nationwide in “Best Hospitals 2010-11” by US News & World Report.
