Union College is pleased to announce a new partnership with Bellarmine University, effective this month. The new partnership gives Union students a guaranteed admission pathway to continue their studies at Bellarmine. Additionally, Union alumni and employees are now eligible for reduced Bellarmine tuition.
Union’s director of educational partnerships, Rachel Gaynor, says many Union students will be especially interested in Bellarmine’s Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), which includes a Family Nurse Practitioner track.
“We have a whole lot of students who get their bachelor's in nursing at Union, work for a year, and then want to become nurse practitioners,” she says.
These students will now have guaranteed seats in Bellarmine's nurse practitioner track, provided they meet the program requirements.
“Academically and economically, it would be a benefit to them,” Gaynor says.
