Taking a holistic approach to student learning and patient care has been one of the hallmarks of Duquesne School of Nursing since our founding in 1937. Duquesne was among the first schools of nursing in the country to offer the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which remains our most popular program. In 1997, Duquesne became a pioneer in offering a fully online Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) which has enabled us to offer several other online programs including the Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN), Post-Master’s Certificates (PMC) and the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).
Today, we offer extraordinary clinical experiences at sites located in the heart of Pittsburgh, which is on the cutting edge of health care opportunities and research. Our students enjoy outstanding first-time licensure pass rates for the BSN (96.67%) and 100% for each three of our MSN Nurse Practitioner programs.
Our nursing graduates and faculty are making a difference as practitioners and researchers, educators and scholars, leaders and innovators. Now, it’s your turn.

Duquesne - Pittsburgh Connection
Duquesne prepared me well, by offering some of the best clinical experiences in all of Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh has a lot of trauma and specialized hospitals, such as Allegheny General Hospital, UPMC Presbyterian and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. My clinical experiences provided a well-rounded education and prepared me for my role as a Mayo Clinic’s Medical ICU nurse after graduation.
What drew me to Duquesne are the number of hospitals in the area. There are major hospital systems like UPMC and Allegheny Health Network along with dozens of hospitals within a 30-minute drive. It’s great to be able to experience these health care networks and use these different types of nursing software.
Pittsburgh has an international reputation for leadership in medicine and technology. As a member of both the Biomedical Engineering and Nursing communities at Duquesne, I have loved the endless opportunities that both programs have offered and I cannot wait to begin to narrow down the many career choices.
