South College Dallas earns Texas Board of Nursing approval for nursing program

South College has earned state approval for its Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program from the Texas Board of Nursing (TXBON), and students can enroll now at the Dallas campus. The Board approved the first cohort of students beginning October 2025.

“The state Board of Nursing approval of our ASN nursing program is an indicator of how we operate throughout our educational footprint,” said Turner South, who is now president of the Dallas campus after serving in the same role in Indianapolis for South College. “The vibrant healthcare sector in this region continues to grow, and we are focused on offering exceptional education programs to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals.”

Students will work to build strong academic and clinical foundations to learn the basics of medical care, critical thinking, interpersonal skills and technical competence required for taking the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) and to serve as safe, competent nursing professionals.
