Swenson In 1953 Weber College became one of the pilot schools in a research project conducted by Teachers College, Columbia University. The purpose of the research was to try a new approach to nursing education, in which the responsibility for the planning and implementation of the Program rested with the college. The research phase of the Program was completed on June 30, 1957. All of the pilot schools have continued to operate, and many more schools have started similar programs. A follow-up study of all of the graduates is planned for 1962. In a college environment, the students majoring in nursing enjoy the many cultural and social opportunities offered to all students. The curriculum is planned to include a broad general educational program concurrently with the nursing courses. Hospital facilities used for learning experiences include the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital, Utah State Tuberculosis Hospital, Shriners Hospital and Primary Children's Hospital. In addition, other community resources are used. The program is open to both male and female students who have graduated from an accredited high school, who perform satisfactorily on the Weber College entrance tests, who are in good health, and who are highly motivated as to a choice of careers. Successful completion of this program entitles the graduate to an Associate of Science Degree from Weber College, and eligi- bilty to write the State Board examinations for the Registered Nurse license. The program in nursing has state accreditation and also has been accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools.
