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, a traditional, four-semester BSN program, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice
(DNP) program with eight concentrations and three dual DNP concentrations. Our PhD
in nursing is offered through the College of Graduate Health Sciences.
