Regents approve nursing school building for UW-Madison

Design plans for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s new $52.8 million School of Nursing got the green light Friday from the UW Board of Regents, paving the way for the school to expand its undergraduate nursing enrollment by 20% to 25% in the next five years. Despite increasing its nursing undergraduate enrollment from 200 to 360 over the last three years, the school still turns away three highly qualified applicants for each space in the undergraduate program, according to documents supporting the project.
