An Inside Look at Chamberlain University’s Atlanta Campus in Sandy Springs

In a city known for growth, healthcare has become one of Atlanta’s defining industries. Georgia’s growing population and healthcare needs contribute to ongoing demand for qualified healthcare professionals.

Since April 2012, Chamberlain University Atlanta, located in the Sandy Springs Central Perimeter district, has helped educate the nurses who serve Georgia’s growing communities. If you’ve been wondering, “Is Chamberlain Atlanta still open?” the answer is a resounding yes. The campus is open and actively enrolling nursing students from metro Atlanta and beyond.

If you’re a prospective student seeking a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, Chamberlain offers a combination of academics, clinical simulation resources, and genuine student support designed to help you navigate nursing school from day one.

National Accreditation and Institutional Stability 

A nursing degree represents years of dedication, personal investment, and preparation for a profession built on trust. The institution behind that degree matters.

At Chamberlain University, that foundation begins with accreditation. Chamberlain is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), an institutional accreditor that evaluates academic quality and organizational effectiveness. In addition, Chamberlain University BSN programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

These distinctions help ensure that nursing students are learning within a framework of recognized academic standards and professional expectations.

Equally important is the university’s history in Atlanta. Since opening its doors, the campus has operated continuously, serving students without interruption. What began as a commitment to nursing education in metro Atlanta has evolved into a longstanding presence within one of the region’s major healthcare corridors.

For you, that means joining a campus with established faculty and processes, and deep roots in the community it serves.

A Collaborative Georgia Network: Atlanta and Stockbridge

The Atlanta campus is part of a larger story of growth across Georgia.

In addition to our Atlanta campus in Sandy Springs, Chamberlain operates the Stockbridge campus, creating two educational hubs within the greater Atlanta region. Together, these campuses form a connected network that broadens access to nursing education.

Students may attend different locations, but they benefit from the same focus on educational excellence. Faculty expertise, academic resources, and clinical partnerships help create a consistent experience across both campuses.

Premier Location and Transit-Oriented Convenience

The setting of a campus shapes daily life more than many students may realize. Located at 1100 Altmore Ave. in Sandy Springs, the Chamberlain Atlanta campus is situated in an area with healthcare employers, transportation options, and local amenities.

One of its most distinctive features is a dedicated pedestrian bridge that connects directly to the MARTA Medical Center station. For students commuting by rail, the connection offers a practical alternative to navigating Atlanta traffic and provides convenient access from across the metro area.

Drivers benefit from the campus’ proximity to both GA-400 and I-285, making travel more manageable from many surrounding communities.

Beyond transportation, the surrounding neighborhood offers practical conveniences that support student life. Restaurants, retail centers, and services are nearby, and the Hyatt House[JR1.1] and other hotels provide convenient accommodations for visiting family members and guests.

State-of-the-Art Campus Amenities

Nursing is learned through experience as much as instruction. BSN students must learn how to assess situations, communicate effectively, make decisions under pressure, and translate knowledge into action. Those skills are developed through practice.

The SIMCARE™ CENTER Atlanta plays an important role in that process. Using high-fidelity patient simulators, you’ll have the opportunity to work through clinical scenarios in a controlled learning environment. Simulation exercises help bridge the gap between classroom concepts and real-world patient care.

Throughout the campus, students also have access to modern classrooms designed to support hybrid learning, along with collaborative spaces that encourage study, discussion, and peer engagement. Together, these resources create an environment focused on building skills through experience rather than observation alone.

Rigorous Curriculum and Comprehensive Student Support

Strong nursing programs challenge students to grow. They also recognize that success requires meaningful support. At Chamberlain, academic rigor and student support are designed to work together.

Recent curriculum updates reflect a dedication to National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) readiness through alignment with Next Generation NCLEX standards. Rather than saving exam preparation for the end of the program, the curriculum builds clinical judgment and decision-making skills into students’ coursework from the start.

At every stage of your nursing education, support is available through the Chamberlain Center for Academic Success, which provides:

• 24/7 academic resources
• Personalized study plans
• Tutoring services
• Academic coaching and learning support

Flexibility is another important part of student success. The Atlanta BSN program offers evening and weekend scheduling options designed to help working adults, parents, and career changers pursue nursing education while balancing other responsibilities.

Outside the classroom, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in peer mentoring programs, connect through the Student Government Association (SGA), and engage with faculty and campus leaders.

Underlying these efforts is Chamberlain Care®, the philosophy that guides how we teach, mentor, support, and encourage students from enrollment through graduation.
