OHIO, Bucks County Community College agreement to provide educational opportunities for BCCC Nursing grads
窪蹋勛圖 and Bucks County Community College, in Newtown, Pa., have entered into a collaborative agreement that provides students who earn an associate degree in nursing at Bucks with a guaranteed academic pathway to seamlessly transfer into a parallel bachelors degree program at 窪蹋勛圖 that can be completed entirely online.
The 窪蹋勛圖 School of Nursing RN to BSN program is designed especially for registered nurses (RNs) who want to further their education and advance their career by earning a bachelors degree in nursing (BSN).
The two institutions signed an articulation agreement, which provides the framework for collaborations between specific programs, as well as an addendum outlining the collaboration between the two nursing programs. The articulation agreement will likely lead to additional agreements in other disciplines at the institutions. This is the first such collaboration between BCCC and 窪蹋勛圖.
This partnership between 窪蹋勛圖 and Bucks County Community College provides increased access to a nationally-recognized RN-to-BSN program, enhancing educational access and earning potential for these students, 窪蹋勛圖 Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Sayrs said. We look forward to helping them achieve their academic and professional goals through this new partnership.
We appreciate the opportunity to allow our students to continue to broaden their education with 窪蹋勛圖, remarked Dr. Constance Corrigan, Dean of Health Sciences at Bucks. Our associate degree students will welcome the opportunity to obtain a higher degree which would allow them to advance within the field of nursing.
Under the nursing agreement, students who graduate with an Associate of Arts Degree in Nursing from Bucks County Community College will be guaranteed admission into the OHIO RN-to-BSN program if they complete all courses with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and satisfy all other 窪蹋勛圖 transfer admission requirements. The agreement is in effect until June 2022.
