History
Located in Sioux City, Iowa, St. Luke's College is the region's smallest and most unique institution of higher learning. St. Luke's College is a private, non-profit institution that has been committed to educating knowledgeable, competent and compassionate healthcare professionals for nearly a century. Predating all but one of the area's post secondary institutions, St. Luke's traces its earliest roots back to the late 1890's with indirect ties to Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing. St. Luke's College is also directly linked to two schools of nursing that were established in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing, established in 1902 and Methodist Hospital School of Nursing, established in 1920, both of which provided nursing education continuously until 1967. In 1966 the schools' sponsoring hospitals merged to create St. Luke's Medical Center.
