The Saint Anthony College of Nursing (SACN) in Rockford, Ill., is also a small private Catholic college. With less than 200 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in its programs, SACN is truly one of the smaller colleges of nursing that you could attend. With a student to faculty ratio of just 8-to-1, students have ample access to faculty members and small classes to attend in most cases. At the undergraduate level, SACN offers both the traditional bachelor of science in nursing (B.S.N.) program as well as a degree completion program for registered nurses. At the graduate level, SACN offers the master of science (M.S.N.) with three different areas of possible specialization: nursing education, clinical nursing and clinical nursing leadership.
