The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing

What The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing does

The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing is a public academic unit within The University of Texas at Austin, established on the Austin campus in 1960, that delivers accredited nursing education across the BSN, AE-MSN, MSN, PhD, and DNP (Post-MSN and APRN) degree tracks, plus two graduate certificates (AI in Nursing and Health Care; Teaching Nursing) and cross-disciplinary portfolio programs in aging and health, women's and gender studies, disability studies, and health communication.

Instructional delivery centers on a Simulation and Skills Center that logs roughly 30,000 learner hours, 12,000 visits, and 7,000 appointments annually across 650+ unique learners, using high-fidelity manikins from newborn to adult scale, VR environments for clinical scenarios and mindfulness, an Audio/Visual Simulation & Skills Management System for competency capture and debriefing, SMART Boards, and medication administration machines replicating hospital settings. The school also operates three clinical/community facilities (Children's Wellness Center, Family Wellness Center, Social Resource Center) and a network of five research and practice centers (Cain Center for Nursing Research, Center for Global Nursing and Health, Center for Clinical and Community Partnerships, Luci Baines Johnson and Ian J. Turpin Center for Gerontological Nursing, St. David's Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research in Underserved Populations).

Revenue flows from tuition and academic fees, state appropriations (as part of the UT System), competitive research grants (NINR R01, $1.45M Texas DSHS grant for dementia training FY24-FY27), clinical fees from wellness centers, AHA certification course fees (BLS Provider, Heartsaver First Aid) under Training Center TX21038, ANCC-accredited continuing nursing education, and philanthropic/endowment support including a gerontological nursing center endowed by Luci Baines Johnson and Ian J. Turpin. Distribution reaches prospective students via a multi-channel funnel (website, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, in-person and Zoom information sessions, and the Longhorn Nursing Immersion Summer Camp that served 117 high-school students in 2025), with international reach through a Costa Rica study abroad program and an AMPATH partnership with Moi University School of Nursing & Midwifery in Kenya.
