City Colleges of Chicago to establish full nursing program on the South Side

City Colleges of Chicago plans to collaborate with the University of Chicago to invest in new learning facilities on the South Side. Two local higher education institutions, City Colleges of Chicago and the University of Chicago, said Tuesday they will invest in new learning facilities on the South Side, launching a plan to bring health-care-related educational opportunities and jobs to area residents.

The new nursing programs at Kennedy-King College are expected to create a path for roughly 50 basic nursing assistant students by fall, 50 future associate degree earners in nursing and 10 licensed practical nurse future degree earners in 2027, and 100 degree-seeking students per year in 2028 and thereafter. This expansion will return a full nursing pathway to Kennedy-King College.

City Colleges and the University of Chicago will build two new learning facilities in the Washington Park neighborhood — the UChicago Medicine Clinical Labs and the Malcolm X College Learning Center — to accommodate the program, where nursing students can complete clinical rotations and lab techs can aid the hospital in cancer diagnostic needs.

The Malcolm X College Learning Center will cost $40 million to build on land owned by the CTA, a school spokesperson said. Once built, the center will serve up to 800 students.
