"The online BSN program meets the needs of situation limited persons by granting them access to learning and training opportunities to advance their careers," commented Dean Trish Goudie. "By offering the program online, we are able to reach those nursing students who want to further their education while still maintaining their jobs."

Registered nurses with an associate degree in nursing will complete an additional 33 credit hours of upper division nursing courses for the BSN degree. Any additional general education courses needed for the degree can be completed from MSUN, another online provider, or an accessible college or university to be transferred to MSUN for graduation credit. Students can access the program through MSUN's online campus at http://www.MSUNonline.org.

"It is with great pleasure that we present this grant to MSUN to advance their online BSN program," said Rob Helmick, president and CEO of eCollege.com. "This prograin allows nursing students the opportunity to receive the same quality education as their peers in a more flexible and convient manner."

MSUN, through the dynamic partnerships of colleges, departments, Regional University Programs, and the Extended Unversity, has been offering distance learning continuing education workshops, courses and degree completion programs since the early 1960's.
