HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The rich history of Columbia College of Nursing began over 100 years ago. In 1901, the School was part of the Knowlton Hospital and Training School located in a Sycamore Street (now know as Michigan Street) mansion that had been previously owned by the Rock family. In 1909, the Columbia Hospital Corporation took over Knowlton Hospital and changed the name to the Columbia Hospital School of Nursing. In 1919, both hospital and school moved to the present east side location at the corner of Maryland and Newport Avenues. In 1923, the Copeland House, which was to the immediate west of the College's present site, was built. It was known as the "Annex" until it was demolished in 1999. In 1956, an addition to the original 1919 building was completed and serves in part as the present day Columbia College of Nursing building. In fall of 2002, Mount Mary College and Columbia College of Nursing established a joint Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN). Combining Columbia College of Nursing's history of excellence with Mount Mary College's long tradition of highly respected liberal arts education, the program offers quality preparation for a career in nursing. Students integrate the most up-to-date nursing instruction with challenging clinical placements. Affiliations between Columbia College of Nursing and more than 50 community clinical sites further guarantee that students, while experiencing the latest advances in nursing education, will remain on the cutting edge of today's changing health care environment.
