University of South Carolina to Launch Midwifery Program for Graduate Nursing Students

In Fall 2025, the University of South Carolina will offer the state’s only online accredited nurse-midwifery education program to advance maternal health throughout South Carolina.

The new program will provide an online pathway for registered nurses to earn a master of nursing degree with a focus on midwifery. Students who enroll in the program will be trained to provide gynecological, prenatal, postpartum, and primary care for pregnant women and new mothers.

To support clinical training for aspiring midwifes, the University of South Carolina has established partnerships with the School of Medicine Columbia, Prisma Health Baptist, and the South Carolina affiliate of the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Upon completing their degrees, students will be prepared to sit for the certified nurse-midwife certification exam.

Jeannette Andrews, dean of the University of South Carolina College of Nursing, stated, “Our nurse-midwifery program will offer high quality education and training that empowers nurses to provide compassionate, specialized care for families throughout every stage of pregnancy and childbirth.”

The college plans to launch a midwifery pathway for its doctor of nursing practice program in 2026.
