School of Nursing
Welcome to the Fayetteville State University School of Nursing. Our journey to achieving nursing excellence began in 1992 through a partnership program with UNCP. Our vibrant programs have thrived throughout our history to meet the needs of students in this region and beyond. We continue to educate many nurse leaders who play a significant role in the health maintenance of citizens in North Carolina and the rest of the country. We look forward to serving you in the attainment of your educational goals.
Thank you for visiting us and welcome!
