    Ursuline Nursing Fast Facts

    Top ten reasons to start your nursing career at Ursuline College.

    Cohort of nursing students receive their white coats as they start their clinical rotations

    We have a 75-year legacy of educating nurse leaders.

    The Breen School of Nursing and Health Professions traces its roots to 1947 when nearby St. John College established an undergraduate nursing program. When St. John shuttered its doors in 1947, it sought a guardian for its nursing program to ensure that Cleveland’s health care needs, especially those of its most vulnerable populations, would continue to be met with both quality and compassionate care. That partner was Ursuline College.

    Whether you are new to nursing or advancing your career, we offer flexible, affordable online and in-person degrees.

    Explore the nursing degree programs offered at Ursuline's Breen School of Nursing and Health Professions.
