About Georgetown University School of Nursing
Georgetown University School of Nursing is a values-based organization that educates the health workforce and advances practice, research, and scholarship — with a strong focus on reducing health disparities and promoting health equity.
Founded in 1903 to educate a nursing workforce for the Washington, D.C., area, the school has since graduated approximately 10,000 nurses who use their undergraduate and advanced degrees to improve health across the country and around the world. Additionally, it has broadened its degree programs to reflect the diversity of academic disciplines within the health sector.
While the school has evolved, it remains committed to Catholic, Jesuit values, such as educating all people for the benefit of others and cura personalis, or care for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
The Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing, Master’s Degree in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice and post-graduate APRN certificate program at Georgetown University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
