Reinhardt University and Chattahoochee Technical College announced an “Educational Pathway” that will smooth the transition to Reinhardt for students seeking a four-year degree in nursing.

The agreement, signed recently at the Appalachian Campus of Chattahoochee Tech in Jasper, allows that school’s students who earn an associate’s degree in nursing to continue at Reinhardt’s Cauble School of Nursing & Health Sciences to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing, officials said.

The agreement also includes Reinhardt’s RN to BSN online program. It highlights classes to transfer from Chattahoochee Tech to Reinhardt nursing programs for the 2019-2021 academic years.

"We will work with these students with our full commitment and our full vigor to ensure we generate more nurses in this very important area of the state," said Jacob Harney, associate provost and dean of the School of Mathematics and Sciences at the Waleska-based Reinhardt.
