Why study Nursing/Health Care at Maryville College?
At Maryville College, students who pursue the dual degree program in Health Care and
Nursing get the best of both worlds: a liberal arts education combined with a robust clinical-
based professional nursing program.
Students spend the rst two years of their college career at Maryville, completing 67 credit
hours and laying a strong foundation in the natural and social sciences, as well as developing
the skills that will position them for leadership and advancement: resiliency, written and oral
communication, and critical thinking. Curricular and co-curricular experiences at Maryville
College will strengthen students’ applications to Tennessee Wesleyan University, where,
upon acceptance, they will complete 64 credit hours of upper-level nursing courses at TWU’s
Knoxville instructional site. (Students in the program may live on the MC campus while
commuting to Knoxville.) After completing the requirements of the program, students will
receive a B.A. degree in Health Care from Maryville College and a B.S. degree in Nursing
from Tennessee Wesleyan.

Currently: Primary Nurse at Knoxville Pediatric Associates
MEET A RECENT GRAD
Hannah chose the Nursing/Health Care program at
Maryville College because of the rigor of the curriculum,
small class size, opportunities for personal interaction with
the professors and hands-on learning experiences. She was
the rst to graduate from the MC-TWU program and
believes the College prepared her well for success.
“TWU nursing has prepared me for the clinical eld
through the skills lab and the numerous hours of hospital experience,” she said, adding that a
career start in the middle of a pandemic is less than ideal. “However, TWU and MC helped
prepare me for real-life situations and be able to adapt to change.”
With psychiatric nursing as her career goal, Emma transferred
to MC with an associate’s degree in Psychology from Pellissippi
State. “I’ve always been interested in psychology, but I felt
that nursing was a more hands-on approach to helping others
overcome physical and mental trauma,” she said. “MC’s nursing
program allows for a lot of variability in the type of care and
career that you can pursue and specialize in.”
e anatomy and physiology class has been her favorite. It and microbiology are preparing
Emma for patient care. She’s gotten to know her professors – a possibility that appealed to
her as a prospective student – and is grateful for their guidance. “e advisors and professors
genuinely care about your success and want to help wherever possible,” she said.
