Nursing
The Gustavus nursing program is part of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Nursing Consortium (MINC), which is a collegial association between the nursing programs at St. Olaf College and Gustavus. The Consortium offers students the opportunity to earn a Gustavus degree, enroll in nursing courses with students from both campuses, enjoy courses taught by professors from two colleges, and have clinical learning experiences in a wide variety of rural and metropolitan healthcare and community facilities. The program, which is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), and approved by the Minnesota Board of Nursing (MBN), spans four academic years. During the first and second years, students complete prerequisites and general education courses. In the junior and senior years, they continue their liberal arts courses and complete the nursing courses necessary for certification.

The American Nurse's Association endorsed the Nurse's for Peace movement during the Vietnam War. In 1970, ANA's president stated: "All nurses stand for peace in the world... Nurses everywhere have a long and proud tradition that supports preservation of life and promotion of healthy living. Nurses will continue to accept and act upon this social responsibility."
