The two new pathways include a direct-entry method for first-year and transfer students and an LPN to BSN pathway for working nurses.
The gift comes from the college’s former assistant vice president of enrollment management, Joy Goldberg.
The pathway program creates an accessible and affordable avenue for students to enter directly into nursing employment.
The expanded partnership between the two institutions is part of Ohio State’s Protect One Health in Ohio (Protect OHIO) initiative.
The new program is an online graduate program that combines instruction in leadership and education, giving nurses the opportunity to prepare for advanced leadership, teaching, and professional growth.
