"Developing Health Care Servant Leader Scholars to provide Competent, Compassionate Care the TU Way"
Tuskegee University’s nursing program dates back to 1948, when Dr. Lillian Holland Harvey established what was then the state’s first baccalaureate degree in nursing program. Today, nationally accredited programs in Tuskegee’s School of Nursing and Allied Health lead to bachelor’s degrees in nursing, or master’s degrees in occupational therapy.
The School of Nursing and Allied Health offers undergraduate programs leading to baccalaureate degrees in Nursing, and an entry level Master’s in Occupational Therapy. These programs are designed for students who wish to pursue a career in nursing or the allied health professions. All professional disciplines are accredited by their national accrediting agencies.
To qualify for entry into the above professional programs in the School of Nursing and Allied Health, pre-professional courses are required. Each program admits pre-professional and transfer students based upon available clinical facilities and the academic records of the student.
