Galen College of Nursing – Louisville

3644 Boston Road, Lexington, KY

Galen College of Nursing was established in 1989 by Humana, one of the largest insurance providers at the time, to help combat a nationwide nursing shortage. In 1994 Galen became an independent educational institution due to the dissolution of the Humana Hospital System. Galen began with three locations in Louisville, KY, San Antonio, TX and Tampa Bay, FL and added the new Cincinnati, OH campus in 2007.

Galen College of Nursing offers an associate's degree in nursing (ADN). The school offers small class sizes and state of the art equipment to ensure that students have no obstacles to a quality education.
