The Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing at the University of Toronto has a long history of educating nurses at the baccalaureate level, and is renowned nationally and internationally for its educational programs and the quality of nursing research conducted by its faculty members. It is committed to continuing to provide the finest health sciences programs in the country.

While the University of Toronto is large by any standard, the Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing strives to create an atmosphere where students feel part of a small community. There is a close working relationship between faculty members and students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. While undergraduates will find themselves in some classes with several hundred students, they will always experience small groups of students working with one faculty member as they learn their clinical nursing theory and skills. Graduate seminars are composed of small groups of students focusing on topics of mutual interest under the guidance of an expert faculty member. Students will find that they will get to know their classmates well and some of the relationships they form as students will last a lifetime.

The Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing sets high standards for educational programs and expects students to meet them, but encouragement, support, and guidance are the strategies used to help students achieve excellence. The two primary goals of the Faculty are to foster students' acquisition of sound knowledge and skill and to generate knowledge needed to enhance nursing practice.
