The University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Nursing, established in 1924, is the leading nursing research institution in Wisconsin and a crucial part of the state's health care system. In collaboration, caring, research, and innovation, we lead the future of nursing and health care — for Wisconsin and beyond.
Developing leaders for the profession and society, we make discoveries, enhance systems, and improve health through research, education, and practice. The School enrolls more than 1000 students, offering Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BS), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), and Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhD) degrees.
The school’s home, Signe Skott Cooper Hall, is one of the nation’s most innovative and advanced teaching and academic research facilities. Cooper Hall occupies ancestral and contemporary Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial.
