Description: Northwestern State University College of Nursing improves the health of people in Louisiana and advances the mission of the institution through excellence in accessible undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs designed to assist individuals in achieving their professional goals as responsible and contributing members of a chosen profession and of society. NSU offers Associate and Bachelor of Science degrees in nursing, a program to assist LPNs to become RNs, and an individualized program to assist RNs in earning their Bachelor’s degree. A Bachelor’s of Science in radiologic science is also available, as is a Master’s degree in nursing. The faculty is known for both its excellence and diversity. Since 1949, this institution has trained more than 7,000 students, making it the oldest—and one of the finest—state-supported schools of nursing in Louisana. One building, formally known as the Line Avenue school, is located on campus and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its architectural significance.
