Chamberlain University is a for-profit healthcare and nursing school with locations across the United States
and online programs. It offers bachelor, master and doctoral degree programs in
nursing, and a public health master's degree. It is a subsidiary of Adtalem Global Education, formerly DeVry Education Group.
HISTORY
The roots of Chamberlain University are with its
predecessor, Deaconess School of Nursing; its related organization, Deaconess
Central Hospital; and the Deaconess tradition of service.
The Deaconess tradition began in 19th-century
Europe when Theodor Fliedner of Kaiserswerth, Germany,
established the first Deaconess Home and Hospital in 1836. The word deaconess means
“one who is devoted to service”, being the feminine gender of the
word deacon. The Deaconess Foundation exists today as a nonprofit
organization dedicated to helping children in the St. Louis
metropolitan area.
