Remote Program Option

The College offers the remote program option to learners who reside more than 100 miles from one of the College’s experiential learning hubs (ELH). Learners in the remote program option engage in online learning for the bulk of every academic semester and are required to travel to an assigned SOFE Areas in the last few weeks of every academic semester when enrolled in pre-licensure nursing courses with experiential learning components. Learners may enroll only in one (1) pre-licensure nursing course with experiential learning components during any academic semester.

There is a total of seven (7) pre-licensure nursing courses with experiential learning components within the BSN Program. Based on the specific course enrollment, learners are required to spend a minimum of five (5) days to a maximum of twenty-one (21) days at the assigned SOFE Areas. Learners are responsible for directly purchasing their own transportation to and within, and lodging at the assigned SOFE Areas. Learners may not include the travel costs on the learner account ledgers nor have these costs financed through the College. The College cannot guarantee any specific SOFE Areas assignment and learners may be assigned anywhere within the fifty (50) states in the U.S. The College offers learners assistance with identifying the most optimal travel options for each of the assigned SOFE Areas.
