The Rend Lake College Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a transfer agreement between RLC’s Associate in Applied Science degree in Nursing and McKendree University’s Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.
According to administrative rationale, this agreement will allow for the development of a seamless postsecondary education system for the citizens of Illinois, and promote the transfer of credits and increase educational opportunities for the students of Illinois.
Incentives for nursing students in the agreement include dual enrollment opportunities, a guaranteed tuition rate at McKendree and the seamless transfer of up to 70 hours of academic credit in RLC’s ADN program. Both institutions are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
The agreement will be effective upon its execution by both institutions.
