BACKGROUND: Kentucky State University’s Board of Regents approved the establishment of a traditional enrollment option as a component of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program on November 7, 2014. When the Board of Regents approved this program option, it did so with the understanding that the BSN program would replace the Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS) Program in Nursing and the School of Nursing would begin a “teach-out” phase.
SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ ACTIVITIES: Due to the continuing demand for this degree program, the School of Nursing is bringing this request before the Kentucky State Board of Regents to continue and grow this degree program.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS: Goal 1—Enhance Student Enrollment, Improve Student Life and Engagement, and Improve Student Advising and Career Development.
Goal 2—Achieve Academic Excellence Across all Programs and Colleges, Increase Student General Education Skills, Degree Persistence, Career Readiness and Graduation Rates.
