A Welcome Message from Dean Patricia Starck
UTHSC-H The Best Place to Educate: The Best Place to Be Educated
We are proud to be named among the top 5% of graduate nursing programs in the United
States. Our graduates at the baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral levels are in
much demand, and are contributing to the global community in leadership and entrepreneurial
positions.
We offer options to obtain the Bachelor
of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, including an accelerated twelve (12) month
program for second degree students, the traditional two (2) year BSN program, and
a program for a licensed nurse to achieve a BSN or Master of Science in Nursing
degree.
We offer eight (8) different
Master of Science in Nursing specialties and three (3) concentration areas.
Some programs are one-of-a-kind in the nation. The
Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing degree program is the only Texas clinical
doctorate which prepares clinical researchers. The
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is the first DNP program in Texas. The
DNP is a practice doctorate that will prepare advanced practice nurses to be clinical
scholars recognized for outstanding patient care outcomes and leadership in nursing
practice and health care organizations. This program completes our array of graduate
programs focused on unique clinical areas to meet the current and emerging needs
of health care.
As to the future, we see our potential in clinical informatics and population based
outcomes research. We use educational outreach to take education to the student.
With our action-based curriculum, there are many opportunities to improve the health
of the people in our community and beyond.
In addition, to ensure financial assistance to our students, we have been the fortunate
recipients of several endowments that will live on in perpetuity. We must all be
committed to "make a difference" so that future generations of caregivers can be
educated in this, the world's largest healthcare center and by what we think is
the world's best faculty.
Perhaps what challenges us most is how to create and influence opportunities for
the 21st century nurse to be a contributing partner in the healthcare area of tomorrow.
Our excellence in academic programs, practice, and research has carried us far along
the path to success. The UT-Houston graduate of the future must meet the challenge
of practicing in a model that is undergoing constant change. But one thing is certain;
The
University of Texas School of Nursing at Houston won't be on the sidelines. We will
be making things happen!
