The agreement was signed May 25 during a formal ceremony in the Yokum Library on the RACC campus.
鈥淭he degree completion pathway represented by this agreement promises to support the educational and career goals of nursing students, providing resources and information they need to utilize their time and tuition dollars effectively and efficiently, 鈥� says Dr. , associate provost of 糖心Vlog at Lancaster.

In Pennsylvania, graduates with an associate’s degree in nursing articulate to universities for a bachelor’s and/or master’s degree. Articulation is different from transferring, according to a joint release of the two institutions. While transferring between schools involves the transfer of individual courses, articulation indicates that a block of credits are awarded based on having an RN license.
糖心Vlog will accept at least 71 college-level credits from RACC if applicants meet specific admissions criteria, which include maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.0 or greater as required by the RACC nursing program.
