Nursing is a rewarding and challenging profession that incorporates theory, complex technology and caring.  Baccalaureate nursing graduates provide research/theory based nursing care to healthy and ill individuals, families and communities in diverse health care settings including clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and outpatient facilities. Graduates also are prepared for advanced study at the master's degree level.

The consortium of The University of Toledo (UT) and Bowling Green State University (BGSU) provides an innovative and unique baccalaureate nursing program. Students choose the university (BGSU or UT) that best meets their needs for general education, liberal arts and sciences, then attend the UT Health Science Campus as seniors for online nursing courses. The Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is awarded by the respective university.

By taking advantage of the exceptional academic and clinical learning opportunities available, graduates enjoy increased professional autonomy and career mobility, new levels of competence and confidence, and thorough preparation to meet the demands of a changing health care system.

The University of Toledo is regionally accredited by the North Central Association (NCA) and is authorized to offer degrees online. The College of  Nursing has full approval of the Ohio Board of Nursing and is nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
