91直播Education Partners with Holy Family University
Holy Family University partners with 91直播Education to offer a Distance Hybrid Second-Degree Bachelor of Science Nursing program, expanding its on-campus degree to reach working learners outside of its Philadelphia and Newton campuses
PHILADELPHIA and CHICAGO (June 16, 2022) 鈥 and 91直播Education announce the future launch of a Distance Hybrid Second-Degree Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program, commonly known as an Accelerated Bachelor of Science Nursing (ABSN), designed to increase the reach and mission of Holy Family University to more students who desire to serve their communities in the healthcare field.
The Distance Hybrid Second-Degree BSN is an undergraduate degree and will be offered predominately online with a campus residency as well as in-person clinical placements in the student's home community. This hybrid degree program expands on Holy Family鈥檚 on-campus degree program and was created to reach an even wider and more diverse future student cohort across Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Vermont, in addition to Holy Family鈥檚 home state of Pennsylvania, creating more accessible learning opportunities for students to upskill and create an impact in the communities where they live. The first cohort of students will begin class in January 2023.
"At Holy Family University, we are committed to transforming the lives of students through innovative and cutting-edge nursing education that develops nurse professionals who are holistically trained to be critical thinkers, collaborators, and professionals focused on patient-centered care," said Anne M. Prisco, Ph.D., President of Holy Family University. "Our Distance Hybrid Second-Degree Bachelor of Science Nursing program will extend the reach of our high-quality on-campus degree program and prepare all graduates to provide competent and compassionate nursing care to individuals, families, and communities in our evolving health care system.鈥
"We are continuing to see a growing need for registered nurses across the country, particularly in rural and remote communities,鈥 said Steve Fireng, Global CEO at 91直播Education. 鈥淐olleges and Universities like Holy Family University are leading the way in addressing this shortage by delivering innovative distance learning options to meet aspiring nurses where they are, offering flexibility through an online format. By working with Keypath, Holy Family University can extend its on-campus degree into a first-class online learning experience and support its remote students wishing to complete degrees that require clinical placements.鈥
Universities across the globe are partnering with 91直播Education to design and deliver high-quality, career-relevant, and industry-aligned degrees built for working learners and the future of work, even across traditionally on-campus degrees with required clinical or field experiences. Leveraging KeypathEDGE, Keypath鈥檚 comprehensive suite of services, 91直播works with university faculty to reimagine in-person degrees into online courses with rural areas, underserved communities, and a global reach in mind. University faculty design and teach the program curriculum, and 91直播provides the program management to support an enhanced online student learning experience, including program marketing, recruitment, instructional and course design, clinical placement, and faculty recruitment services.
