Construction of the Epley Center for Health Professions is complete on the northwest corner of the University of Arkansas campus as the new home of the Eleanor Mann School of Nursing. In addition to classrooms and computer labs, the building houses state-of-the-art assessment and simulation labs. Five high-fidelity simulation laboratories with associated debriefing rooms provide faculty and students with the opportunity to experience interactive human patient simulation as part of their clinical learning. The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing is ‎taking a leading role in providing a highly educated work force to meet the nation's nursing needs.

The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing offers both undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. By the time nursing students graduate, many have received three or four job offers. One hundred percent of Eleanor Mann School of Nursing graduates have found meaningful employment a year after graduation.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) provides students with extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in a wide variety of settings, offers small clinical class sizes, low faculty-student ratios and tremendous one-on-one support from professors. The program emphasizes nurses' varied roles as caregivers, managers, teachers and researchers, and it prepares graduates to practice in the complex, highly sophisticated and exciting world of health care and provides a solid foundation for success in graduate schools and specialty certification.

The online Master of Science degree in Nursing (M.S.N.) offers two concentrations. The Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) concentration prepares graduates to serve as clinical nurse specialists for adults with medical/surgical health problems. The Nurse Educator (NE) concentration prepares graduates to assume teaching roles to prepare the next generation of nurses.
