Welcome to the Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions. Over the past 50 years, we have educated more than 12,500 health professionals to serve at the frontline of health care. Our vision is to become the premier school for the education of health professionals in the Southeast.

We provide our students with the real-world knowledge and patient care skills they’ll need to excel in the rapidly evolving fields of nursing and health professions. Our faculty are experts in their fields, and they are committed to supporting you as you progress through your education and toward your career path.

You will have access to a wide range of academic programs and opportunities that will help you chart your career path: health informatics, nursing, nutrition, respiratory therapy, field-entry doctorate programs in occupational therapy and physical therapy and a bachelor’s degree bridge program in dental hygiene. At Perimeter College, we offer an associate degree program in nursing and an LPN to RN program. Georgia State is the only university in Georgia to offer the full breadth of nursing education.

Many of our programs are nationally ranked, and we are proud of our reputation for excellence in teaching, research and service. Our graduates pass their professional licensure exams with high rates and are highly sought after by employers. Our clinical site preceptors routinely tell us feedback that our students are known for their outstanding clinical skills and leadership abilities.

We also offer a range of research opportunities and internships that allow you to gain hands-on experience in your field of study and to experience how you can make a difference in the lives of others. Undergraduate students have the opportunity to work with fellow graduate and undergraduate students and present their research at the Georgia State and Lewis College undergraduate research conferences

You will be part of a dynamic and supportive community here at the Lewis College that is committed to helping you achieve your academic and professional goals. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey as a student and a healthcare professional.

We are privileged to educate the next generation of health care professionals. Learn more about us by exploring this website or following us on social media. And ask your healthcare providers if they are Georgia State graduates. You'll discover our grads are the people who care for people.
