By Dr. Afaf I. Meleis
Dean of Nursing
University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing

Consistently ranked among the top graduate programs in the country and second in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing is dedicating to changing the world through the science of nursing. The research we perform defines the course of healthcare practice around the globe, and the students we educate gain the experience and exposure only an Ivy League education can provide at the baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral level.

Recognized worldwide, the 18 master’s programs at Penn Nursing offer valuable opportunities to concentrate in a specific field of nursing while expanding the depth and breadth of nursing science and knowledge. The mission of Penn Nursing focuses on integrating research, education and clinical practice to create a unique academic experience in which faculty, clinicians and students engage in a culture of discovery.

Today’s nurses have more responsibility for healthcare strategies and delivery than ever before, and nurses represent our greatest opportunity to create a healthier world. At Penn Nursing, we offer scientific rigor, seasoned with compassion. We build a trajectory of research, apply it to practice, and create lasting change that improves the quality of the patient experience.

Our motto here is “care to change the world.” I hope you care to join us in our mission to do so.
