both Nursing and in our collaborative interdisciplinary PhD program. The
successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active research program

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.

UTEP
offers 70 bachelor’s, 79 master’s, and 19 doctoral programs – with more in

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

education programs open to the public.
