About the College
For more than 50 years, the Lewis College has graduated more than 6,600 nurses, nurse practitioners, educators and researchers to serve in Georgia and beyond. More than 5,300 health care professionals have graduated in health informatics, nutrition, physical therapy, respiratory therapy and occupational therapy.

The Lewis College prepares the next generation of clinicians and scholars to enhance individual and community health in a culturally diverse society. Recent milestones include the first graduates of the master of occupational therapy, a new master’s degree in clinical informatics, an R.N. to B.S. online degree program, and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry with concentrations in nutrition, and kinesiology and health with concentrations in rehabilitation science (physical therapy).
