Why You Should Come
- We have ranked among the top five Schools
of Nursing with NIH research funding for the
past 7 years. A diversity of faculty grants provide
hands-on training opportunities for fellows.
- We are part of a cutting-edge research-intensive
university. The University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill School of Nursing (SON) provides
a wonderfully rich and diverse environment within
which to conduct research.

division including public health, pharmacy,
medicine, and dentistry which are all located
on the main campus of the University.

research centers, institutes, and initiatives that
bring faculty together across campus to collaborative
research-focused areas.

are very active members
of many of these centers.
