What is ACUMEN?

The acronym ACUMEN stands for Academic Collaboration for Underrepresented Minority Enrollment in Nursing. ACUMEN is a 3-Year grant funded by the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA), Bureau of Health Professions. Our mission is to facilitate enrollment of individuals, including males, from underrepresented racial/ethnic minority and economically/educationally disadvantaged backgrounds into the baccalaureate nursing program.

We are targeting high school students as well as college enrollees who wish to transfer into nursing. We provide pre-entry preparation, enrollment and retention activities to enhance students' success and graduation.

If you are a high school student and are interested in nursing as a career, please contact our office to learn more about Paws for Nursing Club.
