Message from the Dean

Welcome to the UP College of Nursing website. This is your online portal to the UP College of Nursing where you can learn more about our institution. 

Established in 1948, UP College of Nursing has played a significant role in shaping the nursing profession in the country and in the region.  It was designated as a World Health Collaborating Center for Leadership in Nursing Development in 1989 and a CHED Centre of Excellence.

UP College of Nursing prides itself in being the premier nursing school that acts as a change agent serving the health needs of the Filipino people, and provides leadership and excellence in nursing development in the global community.  

We offer degree programs in nursing from BS Nursing, MS Nursing, to PhD in Nursing – preparing nurses who can be primary care providers, clinical nurse specialists, nurse educators, nurse managers and researchers.

We are involved in research projects that impact nursing and health at the national and regional levels.  And we encourage the dissemination of research findings through publication and national/ international conferences.

We offer continuing education and community extension services in partnership with the Department of Health and the World Health Organization and other key partners in the country and in the region.

We always strive for honor and excellence in our work in nursing education, nursing research, and public service.

Feel free to navigate our web pages and we hope that we can engage you in our many activities.
