Welcome to a New School Year (with Video)
The pace always picks up for fall at UMSN, and now there’s added excitement.
The 2013-14 school year begins as work on UMSN’s new academic facility builds momentum. Soon the school community will be able to watch the physical creation of the building, knowing it symbolizes the progression of UMSN’s commitment to nursing science and leadership.

High NCLEX Pass Rate
UMSN is proud to recognize the high pass rate of our students who recently took the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). At 97%, UMSN’s rate far exceeds the national average of 83%. In addition, it’s higher that the State of Michigan’s 86% pass rate. These numbers represent NCLEX results for the 2013 Second Quarter, April 1- June 30. The NCLEX is the required test for graduates to receive their professional nursing license. Congratulations to the students and to the faculty who provide an excellent education for UMSN undergraduates!
