By
Kettering College, Press Release

Kettering College (KC) is pleased to announce the launch of a partnership with Wilberforce University. This strategic collaboration will give Wilberforce University graduates the opportunity to seamlessly begin their nursing education through the accelerated four-semester degree track at Kettering College.

Graduates will have the opportunity to transition to KC’s A-BSN program from Wilberforce University to Kettering College after completion of required coursework. This partnership reflects both institutions’ dedication to addressing the national nursing shortage by preparing a new generation of highly qualified nurses, with a focus on increasing diversity within healthcare.

Through this partnership, graduates could have two bachelor’s degrees as soon as 16 months post-graduation from Wilberforce University. Students will have the benefit of a strategic academic transition from Wilberforce University to Kettering College while completing their required coursework in a collaborative and supportive environment.
