Get Hands-On Experience With Hundreds of Lab and Clinical Hours
Our faculty believes the best way to learn is with hands-on experience, which is why you'll complete over 1,000 clinical hours throughout the program. And while Tech has the latest technology available for you to practice on with our HAL Simulations and Anatomage table, your most meaningful learning comes from hands-on actual patient care—not hands-on simulation mannequin practice care.
Our emphasis on the clinical experience allows students to put what they have learned into practice. Each semester students participate in clinical rotations that increase in complexity and include a variety of settings. These supervised direct practical experiences contribute to our mission of developing professional, competent, and caring nurses.
Academic Families Provide Extra Student Support
Academic families is a tradition where upper level students "adopt" incoming students to help guide them through the first year of the educational program. The practice of academic families is well known in some European universities and is a great way to make first-year students feel more comfortable in a new environment.
"Academic families provided me with additional support in the nursing program particularly my first semester when everything was new to me. It was always nice to have someone to ask questions and then eventually become that support system during our later years in the program."
Licensure Information
Students considering pursuing an academic program that leads to professional licensure are advised that the Michigan Tech Nursing program prepares students to practice in the state of Michigan and is not intended to prepare students for out-of-state licensure. Michigan Tech has not yet determined whether its curriculum prepares students for licensure in any other state.
Students enrolled in Michigan Tech's Nursing program seeking to practice outside the state of Michigan are advised to contact the appropriate licensing agency within their home state to seek information and additional guidance before beginning a program outside of their home state. Graduates who want to practice in other states should also review those requirements via the NCSBN website.
