3 Schools Partner For New Nursing Program

Davenport, Mid and WSCC Team Up

Davenport University is partnering with Mid Michigan College (Mid) and West Shore Community College (WSCC) to offer Bachelor of Science in nursing degrees.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of nurses needed to serve the U.S. population will grow from 2.74 million in 2010 to 3.45 million in 2020 and there are not enough nurses graduating to fill this need.

Davenport University’s bachelor of nursing concurrent enrollment program will help address this shortage in Michigan.

“This program is a fantastic opportunity for nursing students to quickly advance their degrees and increase their earning potential with Michigan’s highest performing hospitals,” said Dr. Richard J. Pappas, president of Davenport University.

“Beyond this agreement, Davenport and Mid both share a strong history of responding to the needs of our communities and providing access to an affordable education,” said Dr. Christine M. Hammond, president of Mid Michigan College.

The program allows students working toward an associate of applied arts and sciences degree in nursing with the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing (BSN) at the same time.

Students from WSCC and Mid can now formally enroll in Davenport’s bachelor of nursing concurrent enrollment program to take classes at Davenport and their base institution to receive their BSN just three semesters after earning their associate degree.

“I’m excited about this latest partnership with Davenport University,” said WSCC President Scott Ward. “We are committed to working together with our communities and other educational institutions to ensure students have the best possible pathway to success.”
