Support the Promise
of the College of Nursing

Across the country, the need for highly qualified nurses grows greater every day. The USC College of Nursing’s strong commitment to leadership education, innovative teaching and service, and groundbreaking research directly addresses the healthcare needs of South Carolina, the nation and the world.

ABOUT THE COLLEGE OF NURSING

For more than 50 years, the College of Nursing has helped improve the accessibility and the quality of health care services to individuals and communities.  The college's strong reputation for nursing leadership (the SC Center for Nursing Leadership and the Amy V. Cockroft Leadership Program), education innovation (a state-of-the-art simulation lab and online learning), and improving health care disparities (the Children and Family Inner-City Clinic) places it among the leading nursing programs in the South.  

Since its inception in the 1940s and national accreditation in 1957, more than 6,000 nurses have matriculated from the College of Nursing. From the classrooms in the McCutchen House to the halls of the Williams-Brice Building, the nurses that have graduated from USC continue to be a powerful influence in our state, our nation, and our world.

As we look toward the future, we are proud that the state’s flagship nursing college continues to provide a nursing leadership model that is second to none.
