Prospective Students

We are so excited that you are interested in East Texas Baptist University’s Professional Nursing program. Our University offers a student friendly, Christ-centered learning environment.

Students and faculty partner to achieve mutually established goals for education while working with community agencies to receive real-world clinical experiences. Our low student-to-professor ratios enable us to provide excellent individual attention to our students as they become professional nurses, including substantial support for their preparation for taking the nursing state board exam. Evidence of the return on this investment is our Professional Nursing program has enjoyed a 100% pass rate for the past 4 student cohorts.

Our Program

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a four year program. Our pre-nursing program consists of two years of basic science and liberal arts courses. These courses are to prepare you to engage the advanced learning required within the Professional Nursing program. Many of these courses as well as others from other schools, community colleges or universities can be transferred in to facilitate students’ transition to our program. The opportunity for learning that is offered in the Professional Nursing program is focused on building clinical knowledge, skills, and wisdom to be applied as a professional nurse in a variety of roles and environments. In addition, what you learn here at ETBU positions you to continue your educational experience if you choose to pursue graduate study in your chosen area of practice within the nursing profession.

How to Get Started

“The ETBU Nursing Department has not only provided me with the learning materials needed for nursing school, but with various tools that will be used in every aspect of my life. Working well with all personality types, being prompt, and effective communication are just a few skills that have been reiterated throughout my experience in the program. The faculty and staff go to any length to ensure your personal success in all classes and take the time to build up each student with encouragement and support. This experience has challenged me mentally, spiritually and physically, with the hours of clinicals, but has been worth every second!” `Brittany Graham
