รศรรสำฦต and Bryan College of Health Sciences Sign Agreement

July 10, 2019

รศรรสำฦต President Dr. Matt Gotschall and BCHS President Dr. Rich Lloydรศรรสำฦต and Bryan College of Health Sciences have formally signed a new dual admission agreement. The articulation agreement will allow students from รศรรสำฦต to seamlessly matriculate at Bryan to finish their four-year degree.

Students applying for and accepted under the dual admissions process will be admitted to both colleges upon acceptance into a science or health professions program at รศรรสำฦต. Students at รศรรสำฦต desiring dual admissions must apply for dual admissions status by the completion of their first year of enrollment at รศรรสำฦต. The agreement takes effect immediately with the start of the 2019-20 academic year.

โ€œWith Grand Island Regional Hospital nearly complete in partnership with Bryan Health we wanted to support the educational needs of trained healthcare professionals in the Grand Island community,โ€ said Bryan College of Health Sciences Provost Dr. Kelsi Anderson. โ€œWith our RN-BSN completion program now being offered completely online, it made sense for us to connect with รศรรสำฦต to provide seamless opportunities for degree completion to their graduates who would certainly be seeking employment at the new hospital in addition to surrounding communities.โ€

รศรรสำฦตโ€™s nursing curriculum provides a comprehensive, rigorous and individualized education that prepares the student nurse for success in a variety of nursing roles. In addition to Bryan, รศรรสำฦต has collaborated with several four-year nursing programs throughout Nebraska that allows all credits to be transferred from the ADN program into a BSN program.

โ€œWhat I am most excited about is that this agreement provides an opportunity for nurses, medical lab technicians, dental hygienists, pharmacy technicians, biomedical scientists, occupational therapy assistants and others to continue on for a bachelorโ€™s degree without having to leave their current employment in over 90 communities that รศรรสำฦต serves,โ€ said รศรรสำฦต President Dr. Matt Gotschall. โ€œContinued education is essential for the sustainability and growth of our rural Nebraska health care providers.โ€
