Overview

Saint Anthony College of Nursing, in Rockford, Illinois, is a small Catholic, hospital-based nursing school affiliated with a regional Catholic medical center. It concentrates on nursing education at the upper-division and graduate level rather than offering a full four-year experience starting from freshman year.

Academics

Because the college mainly serves as an upper-division and graduate nursing pathway, most students arrive having already completed general-education coursework elsewhere, then focus on nursing theory and clinical practice closely tied to the affiliated hospital's units and specialties.

Worth knowing

Students should expect a career-focused, clinically embedded program rather than a traditional freshman-through-senior campus life; the Catholic hospital affiliation shapes both the institution's values and the clinical placement opportunities available to students.
