In the heart of Kansas City, MO since 1910, Rockhurst University is dedicated to learning, leadership, and service in the Jesuit tradition.

Saint Luke's College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Rockhurst University has five guiding principles, listed below, ensure SLNHS students graduate with a degree that is not siloed within their discipline, but appreciative of others within their college, community, city, and region, developing skills through meaningful experiential opportunities offered at multiple points in the student's educational career.

• Inter-professional experiences
• Creation or use of evidence via research
• Service using gifts and talents
• Communication and collaborative skill-building opportunities
• Inclusion and diversity appreciation

A degree from SLNHS at RU not only includes evidence-based curricular content but is built upon active-learning techniques including simulation, hands-on activities, and service learning.

Each program offers a unique set of opportunities that encourage students to apply the concepts learned in the classroom with the real world. Our programs have partnerships with clinical sites, schools, and other community facilities for our students to take their learning to a new level. Several of these allow for student experiences outside of the Kansas City area providing a more enriching and diverse experience. International experiences are available for some programs in SLNHS.
