When you choose Sentara College of Health Sciences, you join a nursing program that has provided exceptional education for over 125 years. We created Norfolk’s first nursing program in 1892 at the 24-bed “Retreat for the Sick” that has since grown into the sprawling and acclaimed Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. As a student in our program, you will learn in this and other award-winning Sentara facilities, providing crucial care to real patients and working shoulder-to-shoulder with renowned Sentara healthcare providers.

I am thrilled that you are considering applying to Sentara College of Health Sciences. It’s hard to believe we’ve been here for over 125 years! This institution consistently attracts the very best students in the region and helps transform them into extremely well-trained and knowledgeable healthcare professionals.

What is most important to me is that all of our students graduate with a sense of professional self-esteem. We offer a flexible and supportive environment for every kind of student to reach that level of confidence, professional capability. And through our uniquely accommodating programs, including distance education and hybrid learning, comprehensive hands-on training, and a student support system, we can help you get there.

Students who excel in our programs are truly passionate about delivering quality healthcare. Many members of our faculty were previously students of the College who followed their passions to care for others at area hospitals before returning to us to share their excitement with you. Our students benefit from both our experienced faculty and our innovative teaching methods. This is an amazing place where your education can lead to a gratifying and successful career.
