A progressive and dynamic learning environment builds on
the foundation of the nursing experience and the credentials that
students bring to the program. The full time faculty in the department
of nursing holds doctoral degrees in their field and many have
specialty certification as well. The faculty join with area
professionals to offer an in-depth curriculum emphasizing clinical
experience, critical thinking, and leadership. UT nursing faculty focus
on teaching and learning excellence.
Classes are taught by
full-time faculty (not graduate assistants) who are active
practitioners in the same field they teach. They help students research
their interests and goals with an appreciation for individual
differences. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who monitors
his or her progress throughout the program. Small classes promote
active learning. A high priority is placed on the mentoring role of
faculty and a low student/faculty ratio demonstrates the department's
strong commitment to personal development. The faculty maintain close
contact with alumni, applauding their endeavors and professional
achievements.
