Abstract

Brigham Young University (BYU) is a private university (owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), established in 1875. The main campus is located in Provo, Utah, 45 miles south of Salt Lake City at the base of the Wasatch Mountains and serves approximately 33,000 students. The College of Nursing (CON) was founded in 1952. The CON offers two programs, the undergraduate Bachelor of Science and the Master of Science; the latter program prepares family nurse practitioners. The CON programs are approved by the Utah State Board of Nursing and are accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
