According to Value Colleges, one of the benefits of EMU’s program is the resident tuition rate offered to all students. The description of the program included that it offers “the flexibility a working nurse will need with the student services, advising, low tuition and financial aid that will help them to complete the program and begin cashing in on their investment.”
“We are very proud of our BSN completion program whether online or at one of our various locations,” Michael Williams, EMU’s director of the School of Nursing, said in a statement. “The faculty has taken deliberate measures to assure the content is up-to-date and relevant to the student and to the profession of nursing into the future. We are continuously revising and updating the courses and our online delivery for optimal student outcomes.”
