MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) Dakota Wesleyan University and Southeast Technical College in Sioux Falls have developed a new set of articulation agreements for enrolled students or graduates of Southeast Technical College’s Licensed Practical Nurse program who wish to work towards a bachelor’s degree through Dakota Wesleyan’s Sioux Falls based Bachelor of Science degree in nursing program.
DWU will accept a generous 30 credits for students who earn their LPN licensure through STC. Many other universities accept only 17 credits, making the DWU partnership a value-added option for those interested in advancing their nursing education.
Another attractive feature of the DWU program is the hybrid nature of the curriculum. Instruction is based in Sioux Falls where students will spend one day in the classroom and one day at their clinical site each week, with the rest of the program delivered online. Many other LPN to B.S. programs are full time and in person, which decreases the ability of students to be employed while attending classes.
DWU is now accepting applications for the program, which begins in August.
