School Notes
Carolinas College of Health Sciences is on the campus of Carolinas
Medical Center (CMC), the area's only Level I trauma center. The
college features a well-equipped computer lab, simulation labs and
biology labs. Carolinas College of Health Sciences has a proud
tradition of educating the region's best nurses and allied health
providers. We offer a small-school environment with big-hospital
opportunities and experiences. In the late 1980s, Carolinas
HealthCare System administration recognized the need for a school
and established the CMHA School of Nursing. A feasibility study was
conducted in 1989 to validate the need for nurses at the local and
statewide level. Degree granting authority was obtained through the
Hospital Authority Act [NC General Stat 113E-23 (a)(31)] and was
delegated to the school by the Board of Commissioners. In December
1993, CMHA's Board of Commissioners passed a resolution to
incorporate the CMHA School of Nursing and to appoint a board of
directors for the school. Degree granting authority was delegated
to the board of directors. The school was located on Blythe
Boulevard on the Carolinas Medical Center campus in metropolitan
Charlotte, NC. The school moved into the newly renovated Rankin
Education Center in July 1994. Academic programs are offered in
Nursing, Pre-Nursing, Emergency Medical Sciences, Radiologic
Technology, Surgical Technology, Medical Technology, General
Education, Nurse Aide I, Phlebotomy and CPR / Life Support Courses.
Carolinas College of Health Sciences is accredited by the
Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACS) to award the Associate of Applied Science degree.
The college also offers diploma and certificate-level educational
programs.
No matter where you choose to go to college you'll have to take some kind of standardized test. The GRE is often required for graduate programs, but it may also benefit your community college application.
Education becomes more expensive with each passing year so it is important to make smart use of your student loans and to minimize your debt while you are in school whenever possible.
