College of Nursing
UTHSC Nursing: A Legacy of Leadership. A Career for Life.
With an outstanding national reputation earned over more than a century, the College of Nursing traces its history to 1898 and was the first College of Nursing in Tennessee. Housed in the resource-rich environment of an urban medical campus, the College of Nursing offers a highly-educated, research-oriented faculty with a focus on developing nursing leaders. The College currently offers a 12-month, second-degree accelerated BSN program, an online RN to BSN program and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program with eight concentrations and three dual DNP concentrations. A traditional, four-semester BSN option will be offered beginning in 2022. Our PhD in nursing is offered through the College of Graduate Health Sciences.
