Through the Academic Partnerships program, the UT Arlington College of Nursing and College of Education and Health Professions are introducing an innovative, distributed learning program. Academic Partnerships is in step with the innovation that has become UT Arlington’s hallmark. This initiative provides health care providers and school districts with accessible and affordable learning for nurses to complete their BSN and teachers to obtain a master’s degree at UT Arlington. This breakthrough scalable model makes it possible for tuition per student to be reduced to make education more affordable and accessible. The 16- to 18-month programs are based on manageable courses that can be completed while students continue to work.
