Accounting Major“Because of Carroll’s curriculum, I am a more well-rounded individual. The course offerings at Carroll have allowed me to explore interests outside of my major. For instance, one course that I continuously reflect on is Leadership and Personal Effectiveness. This course allowed me to realize my purpose in life, which is to make other’s lives better.
“If someone was considering Carroll, I would encourage them to attend. The students and professors who I have been acquainted with have been kind, helpful, and understanding. There is definitely a sense of community on campus; everyone seems to be looking out for each other. My education is shaping me into the individual that I hoped I would be; I have a comprehensive understanding of the concepts in my major as well as an understanding of the world around me. I feel excited and prepared to begin a career as an accountant!”
About the Nursing Major
Forge your own path in the healthcare industry after you complete your bachelor’s degree in nursing at Carroll University. You’ll learn basic nursing skills, participate in simulation based education, and work in clinical settings to further your expertise to prepare for a rewarding career. As you move through the program you’ll choose to focus your end of program capstone experience in areas such as medical-surgical, pediatric, palliative care, psychiatric or intensive care.
You’ll begin nursing courses and participate in simulation based education and lab skill development, during your first year at Carroll. Nursing students are exposed to a supportive environment and develop close working relationships with faculty members and their peers throughout their time in the program. Although our nursing program is rigorous, students are encouraged to continue their outside interests and hobbies while pursuing their studies. We believe doing so keeps our students excited about becoming a nurse and allows them to contribute to their courses and clinical in a variety of ways.
The cross-cultural experience component hands-on learning you’ll receive from your clinical placements exposes you to a variety of service areas and patients. Beginning your second year, you’ll work in Long Term Care facilities, caring primarily for geriatric clients, and in the third and fourth year, you will transition to the medical-surgical units in acute care hospitals under the supervision of faculty and professional nurses. During your course of study, you’ll observe patients and work toward direct responsibility for planning, managing and administering care for a two- to three-patient load. Your education culminates with a capstone experience where you’ll be required to work 120 hours in a healthcare setting at one of southeastern Wisconsin’s best health systems or one of your choosing. This provides you with the opportunity to advance your skills and network as you prepare to search for a professional position.
