Health Care
Evangel’s Nursing program is a cooperative effort with Missouri State University through The Alliance for Healthcare Education. Students earn two bachelor’s degrees: a B.S. in Health Care from Evangel and a B.S. in Nursing from Missouri State University. This is an all-inclusive, fully accredited, 4-year program. EU students live on campus and participate in Evangel student life. Students complete nursing prerequisite courses and nearly all core curriculum requirements during the first four semesters. During the last four semesters, students take courses in nursing theory at the Alliance campus and complete clinical work through the Cox Health Systems network. The B.S. in Nursing requirements must be met before students receive the B.S. in Health Care. When they complete the program, students are eligible to take and pass the NCLEX exam which qualifies them for licensure as Registered Nurses.
The bachelor’s degree with a major in Health Care requires the completion of all nursing course work (approximately 61 credits) as determined by Missouri State University for completion of the B.S. in Nursing. It also requires 25 credits of science and math courses from the Evangel Department of Natural and Applied Sciences.
