At the Wayne State University College of Nursing, we understand the challenges facing today's cities and are dedicated to addressing them. Our location in Detroit positions us to prepare nurses uniquely qualified to care for urban populations and to help reduce health disparities and promote health in local communities. Here, students receive a world-class education where they learn from faculty experts and provide care to people in a variety of urban settings from homecare, to primary and specialty care, to tertiary care health centers throughout Detroit. Students at all degree levels work alongside our researchers and partners to further nursing science, and leave equipped to enter a workforce in need of their diversity, knowledge and skill.
