The nursing program at Rutgers-Camden is committed to meeting its threefold mission of education, research, and service in southern New Jersey and the Delaware Valley. Our program has been preparing nursing students for baccalaureate-level professional practice for more than 35 years. Graduate programs will soon be launched.

The nursing faculty at Rutgers-Camden are award-winning teachers, scientists, and clinicians. They believe that education for professional nursing is best accomplished in a university setting, where a spirit of inquiry, the excitement of discovery, and creative and critical thinking flourish. Within such settings, the future nurse can best reach their individual potential and gain an appreciation of the multifaceted roles and functions of nursing within society.

At Rutgers-Camden, courses in the natural and social sciences, arts, and humanities are integrated with the study of nursing throughout a four-year program.

Students learn to appreciate each patient as an individual with biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions.  Nursing courses begin in the first year of the program. Students are prepared for professional nursing practice as clinicians, health teachers, managers, and leaders. Future pursuit of advanced nursing education in clinical practice, research, education, and/or administration is assumed. Our graduates are leaders in nursing and health care throughout the Delaware Valley and beyond.
