Name: The University of Olivet and Kellogg Community College Nursing Program Partnership
Prosperity Region: 8
Description: Graduates of Kellogg Community College’s (KCC) associate degree in nursing (ADN) program can continue their nursing education by transferring to The University of Olivet’s RN-BSN program. The University of Olivet holds in-person courses on KCC’s campus, as well as synchronous and asynchronous online courses, so students do not need to drive to The University of Olivet’s campus. The partnership aims to increase the number of BSN-prepared nurses in the Battle Creek area.
