CURRICULUM
The primary mission of the nursing program is to prepare nurse generalists who are key members of an
interdisciplinary team that can have a positive impact on health care outcomes. With the current gaps in health
care services, Puerto Rico needs well-trained nurses with increased knowledge and skills to provide care to
those needing health care. The students in the Undergraduate Program are encouraged to maintain a holistic
perspective in the health care they provide with a multidisciplinary and collaborative focus throughout the
individuals life span. This program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
