Silliman University College of Nursing

The Silliman University College of Nursing (SUCN) is one of the constituent colleges of Silliman University, a private university in Dumaguete, Philippines. Established in 1947, the college was attached as a four-year program under the College of Arts and Sciences.[1] In 1958, it implemented a five-year curriculum but reverted to its four-year baccalaureate program in 1976 when required to do so by the Department of Education and Culture (now the Department of Education).[1]
