The University of Alabama Capstone College of Nursing (CCN) prepares graduates for the professional practice of nursing. The college is a national innovator in clinical simulation in nursing education, utilizing simulators and telehealth technology in teaching, research and health care delivery. We partner with a variety of well-respected health care facilities to provide clinical experiences that ease the transition into the working world and prepare graduates for challenges after school.

The Capstone College of Nursing at the University of Alabama is growing– in enrollment and facilities– and we need more nursing faculty at all levels.

With an enrollment of over 2,400 nursing students, CCN offers a traditional BSN program, an online RN-to-BSN program, and nurse administrator and nurse practitioner programs at the MSN level. The College also offers three types of doctoral programs: a Nursing Science PhD Program offered online in collaboration with the University of Alabama at Huntsville; a Doctor of Education for Nurse Educators program, jointly taught by CCN faculty and faculty in UA’s College of Education; and an online Doctor of Nursing Practice program.
