Adventist University of Health Sciences (ADU), formerly Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences, is located in Orlando, Florida, United States. It is a Seventh-day Adventist institution which specializes in allied health and nursing education. The college is associated with Florida Hospital, and Adventist Health System which is operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[3] It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system.[4][5][6] [7]

Accreditation

The university is accredited through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as specific accreditation or licensing bodies for specific programs.[8]

History

Florida Hospital began its nursing program in 1913 when Southern Missionary College (now Southern Adventist University) in Collegedale, Tennessee would send its "pre-nursing" students to Orlando for clinical experience.[9] The Associate Degree in Nursing program began in 1983. Other allied health programs were started and the four programs – nursing, practical nursing, radiography and sonography – were consolidated to form the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences. In 1998, the college became a baccalaureate-granting institution.[10] In August 2012, it was renamed the Adventist University of Health Sciences, with the addition of graduate programs over the previous four years.[11]
