- Increase the number of minority and disadvantaged students who choose nursing as a career.
- Enhance the academic abilities and preparation of students in Lawrence and Lowell, MA in order to increase their competitiveness for entry into the UML Baccalaureate Nursing Program and to ensure future graduation from the program and successful NCLEX-RN licensure pass rate.
