Nursing is a challenging career that incorporates theory,
complex technology and caring. Baccalaureate nursing graduates provide research
/ theory based nursing care to healthy and ill individuals, families and
communities in a variety of health care settings including clinics, hospitals,
nursing homes, schools and outpatient facilities.
The Winning Combination MUO / UT / BGSU
As a consortium nursing program, the Medical University of
Ohio (MUO), The University of Toledo (UT) and Bowling Green State University (BGSU)
make the Baccalaureate Nursing Program innovative and unique. This is a chance
to combine the best of both worlds - the excitement of college life coupled with
the challenge of a clinical setting and a stimulating health science center.
Students choose the university that best meets their needs.
Undergraduate students who decide to enter nursing
programs at UT or BGSU take general education, liberal arts and sciences at
their respective universities. Students attend MUO as junior and senior students
for nursing courses and clinical experiences. The Bachelor of Science degree in
Nursing is awarded by the respective university.
By taking advantage of the exceptional advising services
and academic / clinical learning opportunities available, graduates enjoy
increased professional autonomy and career mobility; new levels of competence
and confidence; and thorough preparation for meeting the demands of a changing
health care system. A Departmental Honors Program is available in Nursing.
Accreditation and Approval
The School of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education and has full approval of the Ohio Board of Nursing.
Basic BSN and RN/BSN
The Undergraduate Nursing Program has two tracks to obtain a Bachelor of Science
in Nursing degree. Students who are Associate Degree or diploma graduates and
are licensed as registered nurses, enter the RN/BSN
track. This track has outreach campuses at BGSU Firelands College, Huron,
OH., and in Lima and Archbold, OH. The basic
BSN track is for students entering the nursing profession.

The
MUO Department of Physical Therapy, BGSU, and UT offer a combined
undergraduate/master's degree program in physical therapy. The curriculum calls
for three undergraduate years in pre-physical therapy and three years in
professional physical therapy. The first professional year, which is the fourth
undergraduate year, is taught at MUO. Students then receive their undergraduate
degress from BGSU and UT. The last two master's level years are taught at MUO
and with the graduates receiving their MSBS in Physical Therapy from MUO.
The Department of Radiation Oncology and the UT Physics Department in 2002
initiated a new Medical Physics concentration for the existing UT Ph.D. program.
The Ph.D. in Physics with a concentration in Medical Physics satisfies all of
the degree requirements for a Ph.D. in Physics as well as preparing the student
for a career in Medical Physics. MUO faculty provides the medical
physics-related faculty members from the UT Department of Physics and MUO
faculty. The University of Toledo has degree authorization. BGSU has only a
Master's program in Physics. The BGSU/UT collaboration permits students in the
UT Ph.D. Physics program to conduct their dissertation at BGSU under the
mentorship of BGSU faculty.
The Center for Successful Aging (CSA) at MUO has a specialized
certificate program in Contemporary Gerontological Practice and BGSU has a
general certificate program in Gerontology. Both certificate programs allow a
student to take one class from the other institution and count it towards their
certificate. In addition, the CSA, the MUO Office of Geriatric Medicine, and the
BGSU
Geriatric
Education
Center
have sponsored conferences over the past six years. Approximately 500 students
and health care professionals have attended these conferences.
In 2001, MUO established a program in
Bioinformatics and Proteomics/Genomics (BPG).
From its inception, this program was developed in partnership with
Bowling Green
State
University
and the
University
of
Toledo
. Courses are being co-taught by faculty at all three institutions using
three-way IP teleconferencing over Internet2. This allowed the three
institutions to put in place a centrally important program that none could
independently afford to establish. Each of the partner institutions gives its
own certificates, allowing the shared program to be tailored to the somewhat
distinct needs of each student population.
The collaborating institutions use the Internet
to provide virtual career advising. The Web site (www.virtualadvisor.org)
targets students who may be interested in a career in health care, or people
currently in the workforce who are interested in switching to a career in health
care. To insure that the information about health care careers, opportunities,
and education reaches the appropriate audience, the Web site is promoted by the
Toledo
Public Schools
, Northwest Ohio Computer Association, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, and
the
Center
of
Science
and Industry. The project includes a web-based module with extensive career
information and a videoconferencing module providing live interactivity between
the academic institutions and the potential students.
The MEDStart Program is an early admissions program that allows students in
various
Ohio
colleges and universities to be accepted into the MUO School of Medicine during
the junior year of their undergraduate education. Up to a year before the
typical time of notification, these early admit students know that they will be
attending MUO when they finish their degrees at their home institutions.
Students accepted into the MEDStart program attend a summer educational program
on the MUO campus between their junior and senior year. The
School
of
Medicine
also has a seven-year program with BGSU and UT. In this program, the students
complete three years of undergraduate education at BGSU or UT. After completing
the first year of medical school the bachelor’s degree is awarded by BGSU or
UT.
The Master of
Occupational Therapy program at MUO has similar early acceptance agreements with
BGSU and UT.
