Riverland Community College and Winona State University are giving their health programs a boost.

Riverland and Winona officially announced a partnership under a Register Nurse-Bachelor of Science degree Completion Program, which will be offered this fall at the community college.

Arranged into eight nursing courses, the RN-BS Completion Program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Delivery methods include traditional classroom and online learning assignments as well as clinical experiences in the student’s home community. A total of 120 credits are required to earn a baccalaureate degree.

The number of additional credits needed to complete graduation requirements is determined by an evaluation of credits.
