Description
Central Michigan University has added a new four-year, campus-based nursing degree to its existing programs to address growing demand in historically underserved parts of Michigan. The first students will enter the university’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in the January 2025 spring semester, with a new group of approximately 30 students starting every subsequent semester. Trinity Health Grand Rapids and Covenant HealthCare partnered with CMU to launch the program.
The program will also benefit by its proximity to CMU’s medical school and the university’s new Rural Health Equity Institute. The presence of those two programs creates opportunities for collaborative learning and specialized training with other healthcare professionals.
