The University of Texas at Tyler College of Nursing & Health Sciences

The University of Texas at Tyler is a public university and part of the University of Texas System. It was established as Tyler State College in 1971, joining the UT system in 1979. UT Tyler now offers over 90 different undergraduate and graduate degree programs through its five professional colleges. The campus is easy to find, thanks to the 88-foot-tall Riter Tower, which features 57 bells. Most of the campus is near the eastern edge of the city of Tyler. The city is a major educational and technology center in the region. Along with UT Tyler, the city houses a health science center and two billion-dollar hospital systems.

The university offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate-level nursing programs. Undergrad programs include BSN, accelerated BSN, RN to BSN, and LPN to BSN. Graduate programs include MSN, RN to MSN, Ph.D., and BSN to Ph.D. The MSN programs are offered online and include four specialty tracks, including a Dual Administration and MBA program. The accelerated and traditional BSN programs include clinical rotations at affiliate healthcare facilities and training in simulation labs. With the traditional BSN track, students complete four semesters of general studies. The nursing courses may be completed in four semesters when the prerequisite courses are completed.
