Columbia University School of Nursing
Located on the Health Sciences Campus, Columbia University School of Nursing was founded in 1892 with Anna C. Maxwell as its first director. Since its inception, the mission of the School has been the preparation of clinically excellent nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and scholars. The School of Nursing was the first in the country to award a master's degree in a clinical nursing specialty (1956). More than 9,000 nurses have graduated since the School opened. The emphasis on clinical scholarship at Columbia University is particularly appropriate because of the interdisciplinary collaboration of the School of Nursing with the other professional schools in its environs.
