    NIU to offer degree completion program

    FYI: NIU to offer nurses degree completion program - Chicago Breaking News

    Northern Illinois University has partnered with a local community college to offer degrees for registered nurses.

    The DeKalb school announced Friday that it will begin the partnership with Illinois Valley Community College in the fall of 2011. NIU officials say faculty from the university will go to the community college to teach courses. The rest of the bachelor's degree coursework will occur online.

    Students who participate in the program will have nine courses through NIU and the other courses can be done at any community college. Brigid Lusk is with NIU's College of Health and Human Sciences. She says "nurses will find this highly convenient because it's mainly online."

    It would be nice if the entire program could be done online for out of state people like me that are looking for a program to get it over with. Excelsior College just is not for everyone out there. It would be nice to have some options.

    I remember one of my instructors saying that concurrent clinicals are the big thing.
