The program allows registered nurses to obtain a Bachelor of Science in nursing through a combination of on-campus and online courses. BSU&rsquo;s total off-campus nursing enrollment will now total about 340 students at four locations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Business and biology newly available<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Students this spring began enrolling in a bachelor&rsquo;s degree completion program in business administration on the Anoka-Ramsey Community College campus in Coon Rapids that features daytime, face-to-face instruction by BSU faculty. Students can apply their two-year credits to the degree, they&rsquo;re eligible for BSU financial aid, and they choose an emphasis in either management or entrepreneurship. A similar program in biology will launch this fall at North Hennepin Community College.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Certificate offered for camp nursing<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Also this spring, students began coursework in BSU&rsquo;s new graduate certificate program in camp nursing, one of only a few in the nation. The program, fully online except for a final practicum, provides registered nurses with a blend of clinical, community health and emergency-response skills. It was developed in collaboration with the Association of Camp Nurses and is coordinated by Linda Erceg, a registered nurse and certified public health nurse with decades of experience<br>\nin camp environments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Online MBA prepares for fall cohort<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Following its launch this spring, BSU&rsquo;s new online Master of Business Administration program has openings available for a second student cohort to begin in Fall 2015. The program is designed for students who want to improve their current skill set or pursue a promotion or career change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Masters in teaching features online methods<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Also launching this fall is a new fully online Master of Arts in Teaching. The MAT program will allow students in BSU&rsquo;s FasTrack secondary teaching license program to gain an advanced degree, but it is not limited to those students. The degree is aimed at enhancing online instruction and provides a certificate of online teaching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>For more information<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Bachelor&rsquo;s degree programs:<\/b><\/span> Lynn Johnson, director of distance learning, ljohnson@bemidjistate.edu, (218) 755-2068.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Post-graduate programs:<\/b><\/span> Joan Miller, director of the School of Graduate Studies, jmiller@bemidjistate.edu, (218) 755-2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enrollment is underway for Bemidji State University\u2019s three new off-campus bachelor\u2019s degree completion programs and three new non-residential post-graduate programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20403,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[958],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-magazine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21055"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21055\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21056,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21055\/revisions\/21056"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
