Spring Arbor University

Spring Arbor University is a private, four-year Christian university in Spring Arbor, Michigan. Its nursing programs include a traditional prelicensure BSN on campus, along with online RN-to-BSN and graduate pathways for working nurses. Students build skills in patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, clinical judgment, communication, leadership, and health promotion, all within a values-based setting that emphasizes service and compassion. The prelicensure BSN is typically a four-year program, while completion and graduate pathways are shorter. Coursework combines classroom learning, lab or simulation experiences, and supervised clinical practice in local healthcare settings. Graduates of the prelicensure track are prepared to sit for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. The nursing program is CCNE accredited and appeals to students who want a smaller, faith-centered environment with individualized support. Compared with larger nearby schools, Spring Arbor’s program is often a strong fit for students seeking personal attention and Christian formation, while still offering flexible online pathways for licensed nurses.
