About

MUSC College of Nursing

With the nation’s health care system amid constant change, the MUSC College of Nursing skillfully prepares its students for the evolving role of a nurse so that they can change what’s possible in the lives of their patients and the populations they serve. MUSC is the only integrated, academic health sciences center in South Carolina, and our RN-BSN, Accelerated BSN, Master of Science in Nursing, Doctorate of Nursing Practice, and Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing Science programs are taught by skilled, research-helming educators and provide access to interprofessional and clinical opportunities found nowhere else in the state.

Our Programs

We educate more than 600 students each year who earn baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Nearly half of our nursing students receive their education and training entirely through our academically and technologically advanced online program. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks our undergraduate and graduate nursing programs among the best in the country. We also boast the country’s first DNP degree with a palliative care concentration.

Nursing Research

With the goal of pioneering change, shaping treatments and uncovering what’s possible in the field of nursing, we possess a strong nursing research program that ranks competitively in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our researchers proudly contribute through collaborations with colleagues across MUSC's campus in being recognized as one of the top 100 universities in the country for funding with a record of more than $298 million in research funding in Fiscal Year 2022.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Through Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives, we are committed to promoting equity, access and inclusion among students, faculty and staff. Nursing knowledge and practice must be sufficiently broad in perspective and content to meet the requirements of a diverse, multicultural population. We, therefore, work to foster a climate that is welcoming and respectful of all individuals and groups.
