School of Nursing and Health Sciences

The School of Nursing and Health Sciences was formed in 2007 to add additional options for students with an interest in a career in health care.  The School of Nursing and Health Sciences offers Undergraduate (BSN), Graduate (MSN) and Doctoral (DNP) degrees in Nursing and an undergraduate degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology.  Robert Morris University has continued to add majors in health sciences since 2003, when the first students were admitted to nursing majors. Committed to excellence, the School of Nursing and Health Sciences prepares individuals to practice in health care systems nationally and internationally.

What can I do with my degree?

A career in nursing has endless possibilities, allowing you the flexibility to choose a specialty that fits your interests and abilities. From birth to death, nurses provide critical support and care to people across the lifespan.  Our programs prepare nurses for careers in a variety of settings.  Those beginning their careers with a BSN can choose from a wide variety of practice settings that include hospitals, community agencies, specialty areas and more. Those who are returning for a graduate degree at Robert Morris University can prepare themselves for careers in education or advanced practice.

Employment prospects for nuclear medicine technologists are excellent. The U.S. Department of Labor projects faster than average growth in this sector through 2014 as the population ages and technology continues to evolve. Western Pennsylvania is home to nearly 75 hospitals, and since RMU is the first and only school in the region offering a four-year degree in this field, the University's graduates will hold a strong competitive advantage in the local job market.
