Welcome to the Delta State School of Nursing website! I am pleased to have this opportunity to tell you about our nursing programs. We offer undergraduate degrees for individuals wanting to become a baccalaureate prepared registered nurse and RNs seeking a baccalaureate degree. We also offer a Masters Program with Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult Health Educator and Nurse Administrator tracks.

Because the need for well-educated, highly skilled nurses has never been greater, we strive to excel in nursing education by applying the best research evidence to our education and nursing practices. Our graduates can be assured that they will be well prepared for positions of responsibility in all areas of health care. They are known throughout Mississippi for their exemplar nursing care, knowledge and caring as practitioners, educators and administrators.

The Delta State University School of Nursing also partners with the rural communities in the Mississippi Delta to promote good health habits and to help meet the unique health care needs of this region. We are committed to helping individuals, families, and communities by striving to meet their health care demands both now and in the future. I invite you to take this time to browse our website to get an overview of our undergraduate and graduate programs, our faculty, nursing organizations, and opportunities to learn the art and science of nursing.
