[3][4][5] It is ranked amongst the nation's top nursing schools, it has a research budget of $6 million each year, and produces more than half of the the faculty in Minnesota’s public and private nursing schools and advanced practice nurses. [6] It offers college courses and continuing education at the University of Minnesota East Bank in Minneapolis and at the University of Minnesota, Rochester campus in Rochester, Minnesota.

It is notable as first school of nursing in the nation to offer Doctor of Nursing Practice programs in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Nursing Informatics and Health Innovation and Leadership as well as the first to create a midwifery program to be fully accredited within a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.[7] It offers the Bachelor of Nursing, entry-Master of Nursing, Doctorate of Nursing Practice, Philosophy Doctorate in Nursing as well as certificates and continuing education.

Mission

The mission of the school was originally to provide formal university education and training for nursing graduates to serve the needs of the State of Minnesota. This changed toward the current mission of focusing on nurses as leaders of innovation and collaboration within the healthcare system.[8]

Organization

The School is organized into Cooperative Units instead of traditional departments. These are:

Building and Facilities

In 2013 the University of Minnesota built the Bentson Center, a 11,000 square foot renovated space that includes multiple care simulation labs, a large study space, and work stations. The center was named to honor the Bentson Foundation who, along with HealthPartners, donated a majority of the funds to build the facility.[9]
