Cox College board finalizes name change

Posted online
The Lester L. Cox College of Nursing and Health Sciences board of trustees has approved the school’s name change to Cox College.

“The name change reflects a clear, easily identified brand name for the college as we continue to grow to meet the health care work force needs of the community,” Cox College President Anne Brett said in a news release. “We are much more than a nursing school, and the name Cox College conjures a larger image.”

The school offers four nursing programs: Associate of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, an accelerated BSN program and an RN-to-BSN program. Health sciences offerings include an Associate of Science Medical Assisting program, certificate programs in medical transcription and medical billing/coding, and a dietetic internship, according to the release.

Cox College began in 1906 as Burge School of Nursing. It took the Cox name in 1994 to honor Lester L. Cox, who was instrumental in turning the school from a diploma program to a degree-granting institution, the release said.
