Georgia Southern University (School of Nursing )
The School of Nursing is a constituent academic unit within the College of Health and Professional Studies at Georgia Southern University. Georgia Southern University, a unit of the University System of Georgia, was founded as the First District Agricultural and Mechanical School in 1906. On July 1, 1990, it became the fifth University established in the University System of Georgia. A comprehensive residential university of over 14,000 students, Georgia Southern's hallmark is a superior undergraduate experience emphasizing academic distinction, excellent teaching, and student success. The University's graduate programs are offered on campus, at satellite centers, and by distance and on-line delivery to expand advanced education and develop professional leadership in fields critical to regional development. Georgia Southern is Georgia's third largest university and, apart from the four research universities, the most comprehensive center of public higher education in the state. Georgia Southern approaches it's 2006 centennial in an era of new leadership and with a strategic plan to advance the University to the top tier of its class in the nation.
One of the top two choices in Georgia for new freshmen, including HOPE Scholars, Georgia Southern enrolls an increasingly selective student body representing all of Georgia, every state, and more than 80 nations. Nine out of 10 undergraduates are full-time students. The University is enhancing its academic profile through higher admission standards, an expanded scholarship Honors Program, and targeted recruiting of academically-talented students.
The 634-acre park-like campus is completing a $122.3-million building and beautification renaissance which spanned the decade. The learning environment for students and the public is enhanced by a museum of cultural and natural history, a botanical garden, and a unique wildlife education center. The University's Division I athletic teams compete in the Southern Conference. The campus is located in Statesboro, a safe, hospitable Main Street community of 30,000, an hour from historic Savannah and beach resorts, and approximately 200 miles from Atlanta.
Georgia Southern's missions of education, research, and service promote education, economic, cultural, and social progress through creative solutions to regional problems. The School of Nursing is committed to helping meet the needs of the multiethnic rural populations of the region by providing high quality nursing education programs. The nursing program incorporates high academic and ethical standards, and a caring, learning environment for students consistent with the mission and objectives of the university.
The School of Nursing's Programs are accredited with the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) through June 2012. The BSN Program recently underwent a successful site visit from the Georgia Board of Nursing and was granted full approval through 2005. Georgia Southern University is accredited with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
