Briar Cliff University
Briar Cliff University, in Sioux City, Iowa, is a private four-year Catholic university with a nursing program centered on patient care, professional ethics, and service. Its undergraduate nursing pathway is campus-based and combines classroom learning with lab practice and supervised clinical experiences. Students build skills in health assessment, pharmacology, evidence-based practice, communication, leadership, and patient-centered care.
The program prepares graduates for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. Briar Cliff offers a smaller, values-based setting than many nearby nursing schools, which may appeal to students who want close faculty support and a strong community feel. Its nursing education is CCNE-accredited.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
