CHARLESTON, SC – Charleston Southern University has named Dr. Andreea Meier the Dean of the College of Nursing. Dr. Meier has served as the Interim Dean at the College of Nursing since June 2014. She joined Charleston Southern University as a faculty member in fall 2013.
Meier earned her BSN, MSN, and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degrees from the University Of Michigan School Of Nursing, with an emphasis on Advanced Nursing Management and Nursing Research. She has been actively engaged in a number of national and regional professional service organizations, and is committed to employing best practices for nursing education.
“I am very proud to have the opportunity to be the Dean of Nursing here at Charleston Southern University,” said Meier. “As our College continues to grow, we will continue to seek additional opportunities for new graduate programs and student learning experiences. I look forward to growing existing community partnerships and establishing new relationships in our community and using that synergy to meet the needs and demands of health care on a statewide and national level.”
Meier said her goal is to continue to raise the profile of the College by focusing on the high quality of the programs and its commitment to student scholarships and quality learning opportunities that reach beyond the classroom. She also plans to position the College of Nursing to be a strong proponent of the university’s vision to expand its international reach through student and faculty learning experiences.
The College of Nursing is on track to reach its goal of tripling Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) enrollment by next year, and is currently in the process of developing a Family Nurse Practitioner Program slated to begin sometime next year. This past year, the BSN program was ranked #1 in the Charleston metro area for its pass rate on the NCLEX national licensure exam, with an 8-year 95% average pass rate.
Charleston Southern is a Christian liberal arts university and is one of South Carolina’s largest accredited, independent universities, enrolling 3,400 students.
The University’s vision is to be a Christian university nationally recognized for integrating faith in learning, leading and serving.
