1. Competency-based education

“It works well for the lives of students. The program is flexible so they can self-pace and take on bits and pieces when they are available.”

Nicole Simonson DNP, RN, Director of RSN-to-BSN Completion Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

2. Credit for prior learning

“It was really cool to be able to count my on-the-job training as credits for school because in the long run it saved me time and it saved me money potentially. It kind of showed me that what I was learning on the job was actually applicable to my degree.”
