Regents smooth way for rural students to obtain nursing degrees

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (Aug. 11, 2006)­It just got a little easier for students in rural Arizona to earn a bachelor of science in nursing.

The Arizona Board of Regents today approved a plan between Northern Arizona University and five rural-area community colleges to increase the number of course credits that can be transferred to NAU from 64 to 82.

Beginning this fall, new students who earn an associate degree in nursing from one of the partner community colleges will be able to transfer up to 82 credits for prerequisite courses that are required for the BSN offered online by NAU.

"This agreement further demonstrates NAU's commitment to knocking down barriers so our statewide students can complete a bachelor's degree in nursing in the most efficient way possible," said NAU President John Haeger.

NAU has established a "Healing Community" partnership with Arizona Western College in Yuma, Central Arizona College in Coolidge, Mohave Community College in Mohave County, Northland Pioneer College in Navajo and Apache counties, and Yavapai College in Yavapai County. These are community colleges with which NAU has a shared nursing curriculum.

"It is collaborative, innovative partnerships like this that expand access to a college education and respond to student, workforce and community needs. Working together, community colleges and universities will provide Arizona with the educated workforce necessary for a robust economy," Haeger said.

NAU anticipates broadening its transfer agreement with other community colleges in the state that provide associate degrees in nursing in the near future. Additional discussion to adapt to individual curricula is necessary to complete this effort statewide.
