School of Nursing

More than 90 percent of Columbus State University’s School of Nursing graduates pass the NCLEX, the national nursing licensure exam. That passage rate – well above national average – is a testament to our faculty and the hands-on experiences they provide to our students. Many of our professors still practice what they teach, so they are able to create a relevant four-semester nursing curriculum (starting in the junior year - the first four semesters of course work are pre-nursing.)

Another testament to our success is the fact that the two major local health organizations just committed $1 million to Columbus State’s nursing program to increase nursing graduates and raise the level of nursing education in Columbus.
