    Global Public Health students participate in either an internship focused on health or a study-abroad program focused on health, both of which deepen their understanding of specific issues and also provide preparation for a career or graduate school.

We’ll be real with you. We don’t have a BSN program. Most of our Pre-Nursing students realize they want to be a nurse while they are here often studying something else. Want to change your major? No problem. That’s what the liberal arts is all about. Knowing you want a health career is just the start. We’ll help you plan your path and get where you want to go. 

Our students complete a Pre-Nursing curriculum and are able to go onto a variety of accelerated BSN and generalist entry Masters of Science in Nursing Programs. We have an affiliation agreement with Rush University in which academically qualified graduates will be guaranteed admission to the Rush Generalist Entry Masters program.  Students in this programs often go onto pursue more advanced nursing degrees, such as nurse practitioner, doctor of nursing practice, and nurse anesthetist.

I majored in biopsychology at Monmouth. I LOVED my classes and my professors, I got a lot of good research experiences, and learned a lot of things that have benefited me in my nursing program.”</p></div><footer class="callout-quote-footer">Rebekah O’Connor ’17</footer></blockquote>
