Welcome

UW Tacoma Nursing offers undergraduate and graduate programs. The curriculum emphasizes and fosters the integration of teaching, inquiry, and service among a community of diverse students. Partnerships with the community provide learning environments in which students build upon their skills and knowledge to strengthen their understanding of local, national, and global health issues.

We proudly share accreditation with UW Seattle's School of Nursing, which has held the top ranking in U.S. News and World Report for 14 years.
