A message from the Dean

Welcome to the University of Memphis Loewenberg School of Nursing website! Thank you for visiting our site to learn more about our School and programs of study.

As prospective students, one of the most important career decisions that you will make is the selection of your professional school. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are designed to prepare students for clinical practice, leadership roles in health care, and graduate and doctoral study in nursing. As you consider the many opportunities available for you as a student, please keep in mind our newest graduate program – the Executive Master of Science in Nursing (E-MSN). Please contact us if we can assist you in any way.

As a prospective faculty member, we have tenure track and also clinical track positions that are available for this fall. We are just beginning the interview process for these new positions.

As alumni, it’s important to stay connected through alumni events, volunteer opportunities, and giving back. Our Career Fair, Distinguished Lecture Series, and Outstanding Alumni Awards are excellent opportunities to meet other alumni in the area and get involved. Our variety of student scholarships, travel funds, and program support funds ensure the Loewenberg School of Nursing is the finest program in the area. Please visit our page dedicated to alumni news and contact us for more information.

The University of Memphis is located in a major, metropolitan city with a wide array of clinical agencies and settings for student clinical experiences. Memphis continues to experience a significant nursing shortage, as are many areas throughout the country. U of M students have full access to abundant learning opportunities that are available in the area’s largest healthcare systems and clinics. Local and national career, as well as mentoring, opportunities are abundant for graduates of our program.

As you consider the many opportunities available for you as a student, alumni, or faculty member, I encourage you to contact us for additional information.
