Nursing Department

Welcome to the College of DuPage Nursing Department web site. We hope you will find the information you need to help you get started in a wonderful career in the nursing field. The first thing you MUST do for any of the programs in the Nursing Department is attend a Program Advising Session.

Specific questions about the application and admission to the program(s) can be directed to the Health Programs Admissions Advisor (630-942-2259) or the Health Programs Admissions Specialist (630-942-2482). However, it is strongly recommended that you attend the Program advising session as a first step.
