Overview

The Valley Foundation School of Nursing offers an innovative curriculum and varied experiential opportunities for students. The baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degree programs in The Valley Foundation School of Nursing at San Jose State University are accredited by the California Board of Registered Nursing and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. These programs prepare nursing professionals to be socially and ethically responsible clinicians and scholars who are able to meet the changing healthcare needs of a diverse global community. Under faculty supervision, baccalaureate nursing students participate in clinical experiences in both hospital and community agencies. In addition, a student who is already a Registered Nurse or in the Concurrent Enrollment Program can earn a baccalaureate degree. Nurses returning for their master’s degree will gain additional knowledge and skills needed for either advanced practice concentration in the Family Nurse Practitioner role or as a Nurse Educator. San Jose State University offers a post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program that prepares professional nurses to assume leadership positions in clinical practice.
