The College: The School of Nursing (SON), which started as the Hotel Dieu Training School for nurses in 1898, the first nursing school in El Paso, joined The University of Texas at El Paso in 1976. The multicultural diversity of the SON’s faculty, staff, and student body creates a rich learning environment. With bachelor’s and master’s programs, the SON serves nearly 700 students, graduating almost 300 of them annually. In Fall 2011, the SON admitted the first cohort of students into the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program.

The SON’s guiding principles are excellence in everything we do, innovation to compete in the global healthcare environment, and diversity as our greatest resource. The School features a state-of-the-art Simulation Center and provides cutting-edge educational delivery and flexible, accessible graduate education.

The University: The University of Texas at El Paso is an emerging national research university at the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border region committed to the ideals of access and excellence.

UTEP offers 70 bachelor’s, 79 master’s, and 19 doctoral programs – with more in development. UTEP’s nearly $70 million in research spending a year ranks the University among the top 200 universities in the nation; and its more than $35 million in federal research spending ranks fourth among all Texas public universities.

The center for intellectual capital in the region, UTEP awarded its 100,000th degree since its founding in 1914 at the May 2011 commencement. A major economic engine in the Paso del Norte region, UTEP generates $438 million in local business volume and contributes over 6,900 jobs and $423 million in household income. UTEP offers exciting Division I athletic programs; award-winning theater, dance, and music programs; several art galleries and a museum; and continuing and lifelong education programs open to the public.

Shielded by mountains on three sides, El Paso enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine annually and a dry climate, making it possible to engage in outdoor activities year-round. The city of El Paso adjoins both the state of New Mexico and the country of Mexico, making it one of the largest international communities in the world. El Paso comprises 248 square miles and is the sixth largest city in Texas and 19th largest in the United States.
