BRADFORD, Pa. — The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have announced a new educational partnership that will expand access to Pitt-Bradford’s online RN-BSN degree completion program for UPMC registered nurses who want a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
Under the agreement, registered nurses in the program can earn this Pitt Online degree at no out-of-pocket cost, with grants covering any tuition not already paid by UPMC health system benefits or financial aid.
Many UPMC nurses hold diplomas from one of the system’s eight hospital-based schools of nursing or associate degrees and are seeking flexible ways to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing. This partnership addresses that need, helping with costs for those RNs to earn their degree while continuing to work full-time.
