Southern University School of Nursing (SUSON) was granted initial approval by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing in 1985 and admitted the first baccalaureate level students to upper division courses in the fall of 1986. The School of Nursing currently offers four degrees: the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN), the master of science in nursing with a specialty in family health nursing (MSN) and role options as administrator, educator or family nurse practitioner, the doctor of philosophy with a major in nursing (PhD) and the doctor of nursing practice (DNP). The school houses two academic departments (graduate and undergraduate), the Office of Nursing Research, the Learning Resource Center, and the Family Health Care Center. The school has four funded Endowed Professorships through the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, the Louisiana Board of Regents and three area health care agencies (Our Lady of the Lake, Woman’s Hospital, and The Baton Rouge General).
The BSN and MSN programs are approved by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing, and are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). For more information, CCNE can be reached at:
