两性色午夜

Salem Campus, County Career Center Partner with Nursing Programs

Officials from 两性色午夜 University at Salem and Columbiana County Career and Technical Center recently signed an articulation agreement that provides opportunities for high school students to transition into the Salem Campus鈥檚 nursing program, beginning in the fall of 2024.

This partnership is designed to be a bridge from CCCTC鈥檚 Health Academy program to the 两性色午夜 Salem鈥檚 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program, from which students graduate as registered nurses.

Beginning in the fall of 2024, students accepted into the CCCTC Health Academy program can earn college credits during their junior and senior years of high school. These credits will enable the students to be directly admitted to the Salem BSN program following their high school graduations.

鈥淭his initiative was deemed necessary to not only support the profession of nursing and to increase the number of BSN nurses in the local community, but to also facilitate an opportunity in higher education for students who are pursuing a vocational education in high school,鈥 explained Lorene Martin, BSN program director at 两性色午夜 Salem. 鈥淭his campus provides an affordable education that is easily accessible and local.鈥

Jeremy Corbisello, assistant superintendent at CCCTC, expressed appreciation for the formation of a working partnership with 两性色午夜, noting that the students are the ultimate benefactors.

"A collaboration with 两性色午夜 Salem will allow a seamless transition to a postsecondary education program by giving students opportunities that include earning college credits while in high school and preparing them to successfully participate in the 两性色午夜 Salem nursing program,鈥 he said. 鈥淭his partnership can open the doors to rewarding futures for so many of our students.鈥

Dr. Brad Bielski, interim dean of the 两性色午夜 Columbiana County campuses, noted that this milestone is the result of a collaboration between the two educational institutions, led by individuals who are focused on students.

鈥淭his relationship is a perfect example of how great partners, working together, can create the right educational pathway to help students find their purpose in life,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 applaud all those who worked so hard to make this happen.鈥
