Mission
The faculty of the nursing program at Merritt College, believe that nursing
education is most effectively carried out in a collegiate setting in which the
controlling body is the college. The college is dedicated to serve both the
community and the individual. It is believed that the educational program should
provide for the personal growth of the student taking into consideration his/her
cultural, ethnic uniqueness and support system and should better prepare him/her
to assume the responsibilities of a citizen in his/her community. The educational
program should be challenging, broad in scope and flexible to meet individual
needs, with general education courses to precede or accompany nursing education
courses.
