LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) – Western Technical College (WTC) and Minnesota State University-Mankato signed a new transfer agreement that will allow Western nursing students to complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Mankato.
This is the first partnership between the two schools. Under the agreement, MSU-Mankato will accept all Western nursing program credits.
The 30-credit BSN program is fully online and designed for working registered nurses. Students can attend part-time or full-time and complete the program in one year.
"We all recognize the health care needs, not just in our district or in our state, but also in the Midwest, probably nationally," said Rebecca Hopkins, WTC vice president of learning. "And so any high quality pathways that we can put together that make sense for our learners to grow and to advance helps our communities that we serve."
The agreement was formally signed Wednesday at Western's Lunda Center Atrium in La Crosse.
