Abstract

Nursing education at South Dakota State University began in 1935 with the establishment of a Department of Nursing under the Division of Pharmacy at the request of the South Dakota Nurses’ Association. Initially a five-year program with clinical experiences at Sioux Valley Hospital, it became a four-year program in 1952 and received National League for Nursing accreditation in 1960. The department became the Division of Nursing in 1956 and the College of Nursing in 1964. Subsequent developments included graduate programs, continuing education, off-campus opportunities for registered nurses, accelerated bachelor’s programs, and doctoral degrees.

The College of Nursing Records document administration, curriculum development, accreditation, clinical education, and student and faculty activities. Materials include reports, correspondence, meeting minutes, course syllabi, program proposals, grant records, publications, scrapbooks, photographs, and ceremony programs. Records also document hospital affiliations, continuing education, the RN Upward Mobility Program, and projects involving the Indian Health Service and the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations. The collection provides evidence of changes in nursing education and the college’s role in expanding educational opportunities and developing clinical and community partnerships throughout South Dakota.
