Lewis School of Nursing (BFLSON) was originally
established in 1969 as a Department of Nursing.
The Georgia Board of Regents approved the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1966, the
Master’s degree in Nursing in 1973, and the PhD
in Nursing in 1986. The BFLSON contributes to
the University through high quality programs in
nursing with 277 students in the baccalaureate
nursing program (187 traditional, 75
accelerated, and 15 RN-BS), 170 in the master’s
program and 27 in the PhD program.

scholars, educators, leaders, and researchers;
develop health-related community partnerships;
and engage in research and other forms of
scholarship. This education is provided in a
multi-cultural urban setting, and is
