The dean of the college is Mary Lou Sole, PhD, RN, CCNS, CNL, FAAN, FCCM.
The program's designation was changed to School of Nursing, within the College of Health and Public Affairs, in 1995.
The following year, UCF Foundation established the Knightingale Society for alumni and friends of the college who provide annual contributions of $1,000 or more.
In 2010, the College of Nursing moved to its current location in the University Tower building within Central Florida Research Park, adjacent to the main campus of UCF.
Many students complete their nursing education through a partnership between UCF, Seminole State, and Valencia.
