School of Nursing
Train for a Career in Nursing That Takes You Further
Whether you dream of traveling overseas for medical missions or you desire to provide better patient care here in the States, Liberty’s School of Nursing has a degree for you! Let us come alongside you, partnering your passion to help people with our standard of nursing excellence. We want to see you succeed in all that you do!
Many nursing schools have reputations for not offering holistic support to their students in personal, spiritual, and academic areas. This can cause students to lose focus and experience stressful situations they are not equipped to handle.
Our program is different. While our nursing program is intense and competitive, our professors have a passion for supporting you throughout your academic journey. We may be a big school, but we have a small family feel.
Looking to expand your horizons? Cultivate your nursing skills with our distant clinical sites and international clinical mission trips. These provide an incredible opportunity to see more patients of specific demographics, like children, or to get a true feel for life as a medical missionary. Join our Liberty family and see how far you can go!

Why Choose Liberty’s School of Nursing?
Get More from Your Nursing Education
You deserve more than just a standard nursing program; you deserve an experience that can help challenge, equip, and inspire you. At Liberty University’s School of Nursing, we go above and beyond to ensure you have the support, resources, and training to pursue your calling in healthcare. From the moment you begin your journey here, you’ll receive personal mentorship, hands-on instruction, and access to facilities that reflect real-world medical environments. Our mission is to make your college experience not only academically strong but deeply meaningful and rewarding.
Study in Accredited and Respected Programs
Your future as a nurse starts with a program you can trust. Liberty’s nursing degrees are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) (http://www.ccneaccreditation.org), which confirms our commitment to high academic and professional standards. You can also take pride in the fact that our 14,000-square-foot School of Nursing Simulation Center is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). These accreditations are a testament to the quality of your education and the confidence you can have in your preparation for licensure and beyond.
Gain Clinical Experience
At Liberty, we believe that more clinical experience means better preparation. That’s why our BSN program includes 550 clinical hours – exceeding Virginia’s state requirement of 500. You’ll also get a head start compared to most nursing schools. While many programs wait until junior year to introduce clinicals, we offer this opportunity as early as your sophomore year. For eligible students, we even offer an accelerated path that allows you to complete the entire sophomore year of nursing in just 1 summer semester. These opportunities help you build confidence, sharpen your skills, and graduate with more hands-on experience under your belt.
Serve Locally and Globally Through Clinical Partnerships
You’ll have access to clinical placements that provide meaningful training and open your eyes to the many ways nursing can serve others. Liberty partners with hospitals at distant clinical sites, such as Richmond and Roanoke, giving you the chance to work in a variety of healthcare settings. But the learning doesn’t stop there — our international clinical mission trips take students to countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Guatemala, and Haiti. These experiences help you grow as a nurse and a global citizen, allowing you to live out your faith through compassionate care wherever needed.
