Welcome From the Assistant Dean of the Baccalaureate Program

Welcome to the Baccalaureate Nursing Program at the University of Utah College of Nursing!  

As the assistant dean of the undergraduate programs, I look forward to getting to know you as you complete this part of your journey into professional nursing. As a student in the baccalaureate nursing program, you can look forward to exciting opportunities that include a variety of courses, simulation learning activities, and clinical experiences that will prepare you for professional practice in today’s complex health care world.

As you progress through the program, experienced faculty members will guide you in the care of individuals, families, and populations across the lifespan (infant to geriatric) and across the health care continuum (health promotion to care of the acute and chronically ill). Additionally you will learn concepts necessary to be a proficient, caring professional nurse who demonstrates evidence-based practice, advocacy, and collaboration as an integral member of the health care team. We are proud of our reputation for preparing excellent professional nurses, and confident that you will be a positive reflection of our commitment to provide safe and quality health care.

Sincerely,

Connie Madden, PhD, MS, RN
Assistant Dean, Baccalaureate Program & Student Services
