Ample, quality learning spaces are fundamental to enriching students, faculty and staff. Jacksonville

University’s highly regarded health sciences program has been so successful that it has overflowed

its rooms. Enrollment in the bachelor’s of nursing program is up 25 percent since 2008, and master’s

enrollment has more than doubled. More master’s programs are planned, and our first doctoral program

is in full swing.

To meet an expected burst of demand in the medical field, our 10-year plan is designed to meet these

growth needs. A linchpin to that is ASPIRE’s new proposed 45,000-square-foot College of Health

Sciences building with dedicated classrooms, faculty and staff offices, meeting rooms, a multidisciplinary

simulation learning center and a computer laboratory.​
