Louisiana Christian University

Louisiana College is a small private college in Pineville, Louisiana, with a low 11:1 student to faculty ratio. The college is affiliated with the Louisiana Baptist Convention and was founded in 1906. While the first classes were taught in tents, the college now has 25 residential and academic buildings. Most of the administrative offices are housed in the Alexandria Hall building, which was built in 1920. The nursing programs are taught at the Cavanaugh Hall of Science, which also includes classrooms for biology, mathematics, and chemistry. As Louisiana College is affiliated with a church, the college focuses on promoting a Christian learning environment. 

Louisiana College Division of Nursing offers three nursing programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. These CCNE-accredited programs include traditional BSN, accelerated BSN, and RN to BSN programs. Along with CCNE accreditation, these programs are accredited by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN). The traditional four-year BSN track has prerequisite liberal arts courses. The accelerated BSN program is for students that have a four-year degree in an unrelated field. If the prerequisite courses and admission criteria are met, students may complete the accelerated BSN program in 17 months. Upon completion of any of these programs, students are prepared to take the NCLEX-RN exam.
