About the College

From a program that graduated only six people in 1960, the College of Nursing and Health Innovation has grown to include almost 9,000 graduates. The college is a supplier of nurses in Arizona with Bachelor of Science and advanced practice nurses and is the only university offering an on-campus Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing & Healthcare Innovation (PhD) degree. The Doctor of Nursing Practice degree is being offered in an online hybrid format designed for students living or working at a distance.

Faculty

The faculty in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation are committed to preparing nurse professionals for compassionate and competent nursing practice, leadership in service to the community and the profession, and who value lifelong personal growth. Students learn from experts in pediatrics, women's health, adult health, psychiatric/mental health, community health and public health nursing. The college's outstanding faculty has received numerous awards in teaching, service, and research, as well as recognition at the state and national levels.

Nurse-Managed Health Centers

The college manages three Nurse-Managed Health Centers which operate under the name NP Healthcare. These nationally recognized centers give nurses the opportunity to move to the forefront of healthcare, while providing services to the public of all ages and incomes, and educating ASU’s nursing students in the process.

Academy for Continuing Education

The Academy for Continuing Education facilitates lifelong learning by providing opportunities for registered nurses (RNs) to enhance and expand their nursing practice to meet the healthcare needs of various populations and to further their own professional development.
