Salem College Creates Pathway for Students to Earn an Accelerated Nursing Degree

Salem Academy and College, a women’s liberal arts educational institution in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has recently signed agreement with Winston-Salem State University to provide aspiring nurses with an accelerated pathway to a bachelor’s degree at WSSU.

The agreement calls for three guaranteed seats into Winston-Salem State’s accelerated bachelor of science in nursing degree program for eligible Salem College students every year for the next five years. Through expanding access to nursing education, the two partner institutions aim to strengthen the local and broader healthcare workforce.

“As America’s health leadership college, Salem College is proud to partner with one of the best nursing programs in the region to offer our students a pathway to becoming clinicians and nurse leaders,” said Salem College President Summer McGee. “We are grateful to WSSU for this opportunity to collaborate to address a vital workforce need for our region and our nation.”
