Sherry Lesar School of Nursing at Montana Tech
Driven by excellent academic preparation and a student-first community, the Sherry Lesar School of Nursing sets the standard for healthcare education in the region. Undergraduate students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) paired with a specialized minor in Health Care Informatics to lead in the modern, data-driven medical landscape.
Students train in the state-of-the-art, International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL)-endorsed Lesar Family Nursing Simulation Center, gaining hands-on experience with top-tier equipment right here on campus.
Upon successfully completing the BSN program, graduates must pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to enter the workforce as a Registered Nurse. Montana Tech’s program meets all educational requirements for licensure within the state of Montana.
Montana Tech has determined that the Nursing program meets the educational requirements necessary for students to seek licensure/certification in the state of Montana.
