Mission of the Program
The Carroll University Nursing Program builds on Carroll's mission of providing a superior educational opportunity to our students, one grounded in the liberal arts tradition and focused on career preparation and lifelong learning. Nursing practice is built on nursing knowledge, theory, and research. Nursing practice derives knowledge from a wide array of other fields and disciplines, adapting and applying this knowledge as appropriate to professional practice. It is the mission of the Carroll University Nursing Program to prepare nurses for professional practice in a variety of settings, preparing them to take on the characteristics that will allow them to function in the generalist professional nursing role.
