The Department of Nursing Education at Eastern Michigan University was established in 1971. The department was created in response for a public need: a shortage of nurses in Michigan.

The School of Nursing offers degrees in both Bachelor's and Master's of Science. Approved by the State Board of Nursing in 1973, Eastern Michigan University's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program has had continuous professional accreditation since 1978.
