Newberry College said it has received formal approval from the South Carolina Board of Nursing to accept and enroll a cohort of nursing students previously enrolled at Limestone University.
Officials said the strategic ensures that affected students can continue their path toward becoming registered nurses without interruption.
The decision comes after Limestone University announced the closure of its undergraduate nursing program.
“We are honored to welcome this cohort of nursing students from Limestone and provide them with the resources, mentorship, and clinical experience they need to complete their degrees and confidently enter the health-care workforce. This is what it means to succeed boldly,” said Dr. David Harpool, transitional president of Newberry College.
With the approval of the South Carolina Board of Nursing, the transition plan includes credit evaluation, academic advising, and clinical placement support.
Students will enroll in Newberry’s accredited Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
“The nursing shortage in South Carolina and across the nation makes this kind of collaboration not just helpful — it’s necessary,” said Dr. Jenny Lindler, director of nursing at Newberry College. “These students have worked hard and deserve every opportunity to finish what they started.”
The BSN program at Newberry College is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
