Hesston and Tabor partnership

Our nursing major is a program partnership with Hesston College. As a nursing major and Tabor student, you’ll live on our Hillsboro campus throughout your degree, allowing you to participate in athletics, performing arts, or other extra-curricular activities. During your first two years, all general education courses will be at Tabor, and as a junior and senior, nursing courses shift to Hesston with clinicals in area hospitals. You earn not one, but two degrees, including a B.S. in biology or biomedical science from Tabor and a B.S. in nursing from Hesston.
