This study uses a quantitative research design with descriptive research methods. The number of samples is 235 people. Result. Analysis of the data found that there was a difference between the level of health literacy between age (p=0.851), gender (p=0.965), semester level (p=0.316), nursing students at Makassar City Colleges. However, there is no significant difference. Conclusion. The need for a compulsory learning program or some kind of special curriculum that discusses health literacy at the academic stage.
