The HU Difference
If you want to be one-of-the-many, a state school with a massive nursing program might be the right fit. But if you want to connect with your faculty and form relationships with your fellow students, there's no question that HU's nursing program is where you belong.
"HU nursing is just unique. I loved the class size, the professors, my fellow nursing students and the campus." - Jessica Muoh, class of 2012
Still don't believe us? How about this: In 2020, Huntington University's nursing program had a 93% pass rate for the NCLEX (which is higher than the national average) and a 100% job placement rate. That means that within six months of passing the NCLEX, 100% of Huntington University's nursing graduates have a job in the health care industry.
Huntington University's nursing program provides students with extensive on-campus and off-campus clinical experiences, as well as in-depth training in human anatomy, physiology and chemistry, in addition to core courses in the liberal arts. The faculty prepare students for a successful career in nursing through the integration of academic excellence, Christian faith, and professional competence.

Alumni Story
Alumnus follows grandfather’s Forester footsteps
For Jessica Muoh, nursing was the perfect path for her to merge two of her passions: studying science and serving others.
“It just made absolute sense to me to pursue it,” she said.
And she decided Huntington University was the place she wanted to achieve her goal of becoming a nurse. Hailing from the Republic of Benin, West Africa, Muoh followed in her grandfather’s footsteps and came to the States to attend Huntington University.
“When it came to me studying in the United States, it just had to be here,” she said.
Muoh found her niche in the nursing field while she was completing the program’s clinical rotation during her last semester at HU. When observing interactions between the Lutheran Hospital’s ICU nurses and their patients, she fell in love with the department.
