HPU aims to provide future nurses a solid Christ-centered foundation to serve others. The curriculum is student centered with a focus on caring, faith and intellectual inquiry.

Students will undergo a rigorous and competitive process to gain admission to the university’s School of Nursing during the spring semester of their sophomore year. If admitted to the program, students will start BSN coursework the following semester.

In addition to incoming first-year students, transfer students and HPU upperclassmen may enroll as nursing majors with plans to apply to HPU’s School of Nursing during the latter portion of their sophomore year.

Howard Payne University School of Nursing reserves the right to make changes to the information and policies contained within the Student Handbook at such times as it deems appropriate. If changes are made to program policies, constituents will be notified electronically via HPU email and new acknowledgement forms will be obtained from constituents. At any given time, the most current edition of the Howard Payne University School of Nursing Student Handbook will be available on the School of Nursing webpage here.
