The College of Nursing had its origin in 1882 when the city council of Charleston approved a request by the
City Hospital for $2,000 to establish a "training school for nurses." The school opened its doors in 1883
and continued until the City Hospital was destroyed by an earthquake in 1886. It was reestablished as the
Charleston Training School in 1895. A two-year program of instruction was offered, with some lectures given
by the medical college faculty.
In 1916, the board of commissioners of Roper Hospital proposed the incorporation of the training school
with the Medical College, and in 1919 the Roper Hospital Training School for Nurses became the School of
Nursing of the Medical College of South Carolina. In September 1966, the school began the process of
phasing out the three-year diploma program and establishing a four-year baccalaureate program. In 1969,
when the Medical College was designated as the Medical University of South Carolina by the state legislature,
the school became one of the six colleges comprising the University. In 1983 the College of Nursing
celebrated one hundred years of nursing education and service to the citizens of South Carolina and the nation.
The College of Nursing now offers programs of study leading to the bachelor of science in nursing and the
master of science in nursing degrees, as well as a doctoral degree.
