Our History

In 2007, the college received national accreditation from The Council on Occupational Education and approval from the US Department of Education.  That same year, the school was invited to open a campus in Tampa, Florida by a local hospital’s Chief Nursing Officer allowing the institution to bring its educational expertise into another community.  This opportunity was followed by the opening of the South Jersey Campus located in Ewing, NJ in 2009.

With the support of the local Tampa community, the institution received approval for a Professional Nursing Program in 2010 and started offering an LPN to RN Bridge Program designed for seamless continuity of education for experienced Licensed Practical Nurses.  Later that year, the Jacksonville Campus opened, followed by the Fort Lauderdale Campus in 2012. 

In 2016, Jersey College added its sixth location through a partnership with Largo Medical Center by establishing a campus inside of the Indian Rocks campus of Largo Medical Center in Largo, FL. The Largo campus offers the Hospital-Based track of the Professional Nursing program.
