Nursing (Liberal Arts)

The Health Professions program administers the Liberal Arts/Nursing major (LA/N) and provides advising and supports students planning to enter a nursing program after graduation with another major.

Healthcare practitioners are needed in the United States and throughout the world to address the needs of those suffering from illness and disease and to promote health and wellness to all individuals. A career in Nursing opens the door for a fulfilling life journey of care and ministry for those in need.

Since 1982, our program has prepared students for the Nursing profession by providing a solid Christian liberal arts foundation, including pre-nursing courses, during the years the student is at Wheaton College. Students who wish to pursue a career in Nursing can choose from two pathways. Advising conversations assist students to determine which pathway will best support their goals and future aspirations.
