The RN/BSN program became a reality in August 1991, following months of discussion, assessment and planning. In October 1995 the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission granted initial accreditation to the RN/BSN program at Lubbock Christian University. In the spring of 2008, the program was extended an eight year accreditation.   The program has grown from a pilot group of 4 students to over eighty students in 2008. 

The MSN program was added in the fall of 2005 and received approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in June, 2005.  The MSN program was accredited through the NLNAC in August 2007.  Over fifty students are enrolled in the MSN program.

The nursing programs at Lubbock Christian University are unique in that they are located in a liberal arts university, which is dedicated to the Christian understanding of life and truth. The Department of Nursing resides organizationally in the B. Ward Lane College of Professional Studies, under the guidance of Dr. Gary Estep.

The faculty members bring diverse experiences in practice and in teaching to the program. Nursing faculty offices are located in the Nursing/Math Building in the southeast corner of the campus.
