Message from the Dean

Welcome to Wilmington University College of Health Professions! This is an exciting time to be in health care and an excellent time to advance your career by seeking a degree. Nursing remains the largest health care profession with many challenging, exciting, and diverse career opportunities. Other health professions continue to see an increased need for individuals to assume management and faculty roles. Continuing your education will offer increased opportunities within healthcare professions.

At Wilmington University, you will be taught and mentored by full time and adjunct faculty recognized for their clinical expertise and knowledge of professional nursing and allied health. The faculty is committed to your professional and personal growth. We provide relevant and current curricula in a student-centered environment, where you will experience individualized attention.

Our students practice in a variety of health care settings located throughout the local and regional community. In the classroom or online, our students engage in fruitful discussion, sharing their rich experiences with one another, to enhance the learning process.

The degrees offered by the college include the RN to BSN degree, the Bachelor’s in Allied Health - education or management, and the MSN degrees as follow: Nurse Practitioner – Family or Adult/Gerontology, and the MSN Leadership with concentrations in Education, Executive Practice, or Legal Nurse Consulting. Each program is flexible, accessible, and unique.

We provide our RN to BSN curriculum in four locations across the state of Delaware as well as in Southern New Jersey. The RN to BSN Program, and the Allied Health Management degree completion program are also offered in an entirely distance format to better serve the needs of our students who find it difficult to attend on-site classes because of their work schedule.

All nursing programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
