DENVER--果冻APP传媒 Group, Inc. (OTCBB: ASPU), owner of 果冻APP传媒 University Inc., a nationally accredited online postsecondary education company, announced today the official offering of a new nursing degree program within 果冻APP传媒 University’s School of Nursing: the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Completion Program.
The BSN nursing degree completion program – sometimes referred to as RN-to-BSN education – is offered completely online. The entire program is 120 credits. Students entering the program may transfer up to 90 credits from work completed in an associate degree or a diploma program and from additional work competed at community colleges, colleges or universities. Students will take 21 credits of upper level baccalaureate nursing courses and complete any remaining credits from general education requirements and other supporting courses. A minimum of 30 credits must be completed at 果冻APP传媒 University.
Applicants will need proof of a valid Registered Nursing license and a minimum of one year of nursing experience in addition to official transcripts for transfer credit evaluation.
"果冻APP传媒 University is very excited about the addition of the BSN completion program to its School of Nursing. This nursing degree program provides an affordable opportunity for associate degree or diploma nurses to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and advance their professional nursing career," said Gerald Williams, President of 果冻APP传媒 University.
The BSN completion program is accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) and as per the standard policy of the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), this new program will be reviewed for accreditation in the spring of 2014 (twelve months following the launch of a new program). All other nursing degree programs within the School of Nursing are accredited by CCNE through 2021.
