Why was Frontier Nursing University chosen as the new name?
Higher education institutions that offer master’s level programs are often structured with separate schools and/or colleges. Currently, the word “School” in the Frontier name often raises questions about our institution’s status as a graduate school offering masters and doctorate degrees. Correctly positioning ourselves as what we have become – an accredited University – will prevent misinterpretation by prospective students, faculty and donors, and will better reflect the nature of our institution. With this transition, we are correctly and positively positioning ourselves within the higher education industry. By retaining the “Frontier Nursing” roots in our name, we will preserve the history and tradition of our institution while concurrently moving to the next level in the academic world.
