Overview

Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College is a private nursing school on the campus of Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, one of the country's major academic teaching hospitals. The school's entire academic mission is nursing education, not a general liberal-arts curriculum.

Academics

Students train directly within an active academic medical center, giving clinical placements an unusually close, hospital-embedded character rather than requiring travel to outside clinical sites; coursework is built specifically around the surrounding hospital and medical center environment.

After graduation

Graduates move into nursing careers with a strong track record of hiring directly into Barnes-Jewish Hospital and its broader health system, giving the school an unusually direct employer pipeline tied to its own clinical training site.

Worth knowing

This is a single-purpose nursing school, not a comprehensive college — a student should be already committed to nursing specifically, since there are no other majors or a traditional undergraduate campus experience to weigh against it.
