About the company
PLNU is a Christian liberal arts university in the evangelical, Wesleyan tradition, offering quality undergraduate, graduate and professional programs. We provide higher education in a vibrant Christian environment where minds are engaged and challenged, character is modeled and formed, and service is an expression of faith. PLNU is an institution that is committed to reflecting the rich diversity of God’s kingdom. We therefore encourage applications from culturally and academically diverse faculty of the highest caliber, skilled and/or demonstrating great potential in the practice of teaching and scholarship.

The School of Nursing educates approximately 500 students enrolled across our traditional BSN, RN-BSN, MSN and DNP programs. The traditional BSN program is offered in a traditional, face-to-face learning format. In general, the RN-BSN, MSN and DNP programs are online with occasional hybrid opportunities. The graduate programs include two clinical tracks (Adult Gerontology, Adult Gerontology with Women’s Health) for the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) role as well as pathways in the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Health Care Leadership specialties.
