Why this matters
Faith and healing, prepared close to home.
Barclay's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program joins professional preparation with a Christian understanding of the dignity and value of every person. Students are prepared not only as practitioners, but as people whose care is shaped by faith.
In fall 2024, nursing enrollment nearly doubled from the previous fall. During the state's initial campus visit, Barclay shared plans for a dedicated nursing facility. The state director observed that the facility could potentially allow the program's student allocation to grow from 18 to three times that number.
The campaign began with a lead gift from Robert and Anita Ellis and has two connected priorities: the new nursing facility and Barclay's Full-Tuition Scholarship.
The center
6,796 square feet built for nursing education.
Planned for Main Street at the campus entrance, the Ellis Center would give students dedicated space to practice clinical judgment, patient care, teamwork, and professional routines.
- A large nursing skills lab
- Three high-tech patient rooms
- A central nursing station
- Medical supply storage and laundry
- A lobby and reception area
- Offices for nursing faculty
