- Cabarrus County Hospital opened a three-year diploma school of nursing to help meet the demand for registered nurses for both the military and civilian populations during World War II. Sixteen students entered the program on February 2, 1942 and were taught by a small teaching staff, including physicians. The National League for Nursing accredited the School of Nursing in 1963. In 1966, due to increasing enrollment, additional classrooms, library facilities, faculty and staff were necessary. The three-year curriculum was decreased to thirty-three months.
- In February 1973, upon recommendation of the Cabarrus Memorial Hospital board of trustees, the North Carolina Board of Nursing approved the first two-year hospital based diploma program in North Carolina. In June 1974, the School of Nursing was notified that the NLN accreditation would be continued. The first class was admitted to the two-year program in the fall of 1974, graduated in June 1976.With the growing needs of the health care industry and subsequently the physical space needs of the College, we have teamed with NorthEast Medical Center, and the NEMC Foundation, to fund and build a new college facility on the NorthEast Medical Center campus that opened in January 2004.
- Cabarrus College offers associate degree programs in medical assistant, nursing, occupational therapy assistant, surgical technology and associate in science. Baccalaureate completion programs are available in health services management and nursing. A new certificate program in computed tomography will be offered beginning in January 2005.
- Accreditation for Cabarrus College of Health Sciences is awarded by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In addition, our programs are accredited by a governing body in that area of healthcare or health education, where appropriate.
