The primary function of The Loewenberg School of Nursing is to offer a program of study designed to prepare students for careers in professional nursing at both the undergraduate and graduate level. As a part of a comprehensive university, the school is dedicated to developing scholarship in nursing and providing services that support the institutional mission.

The undergraduate program is designed to accommodate the needs of high school graduates, transfer students, college graduates, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses who are graduates of diploma or associate degree nursing programs. The school is committed to:

  1. providing a curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing basic to beginning professional practice and graduate study in nursing;
  2. promoting the intellectual, personal and professional development of students by offering a curriculum that combines a strong liberal education with the professional major;
  3. providing a plan of study with flexible options that are responsive to the individual learner's needs;
  4. encouraging the use of opportunities available in a comprehensive university setting to foster values, attitudes and personal qualities essential to living a fulfilling life and contributing to a diverse society,
  5. producing politically and socially conscious graduates who are competent practitioners in a variety of settings; and
