A Calling Like No Other

We champion diversity and nurture individual student success while providing a rigorous but accessible education that prepares you for the nursing workplace, academia and leadership as you progress throughout your career. You’ll be encouraged, challenged and supported whether pursuing an entry-level bachelor’s or master’s degree or a doctor of nursing practice or Ph.D. degree.

It starts with our undergraduates. The College of Nursing approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, and that’s thanks to our innovative, challenging and contemporary curriculum offered across all our various degree programs.

Advanced degree options are available for the bachelor and masters prepared nurse with our Doctor of Nursing Practice programs, PhD in Nursing, and Post Master’s Certificates.
