University of Michigan-Flint Partners with Community Colleges to Improve Access to Nursing Programs

The University of Michigan-Flint is partnering with select Michigan community colleges to bring more students into nursing programs.University Of Michigan Flint

The $56 million initiative – a result of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's 2023 budget – is offering community colleges up to $2 million to help students transfer to B.S. in Nursing programs, an effort to increase access and affordability for such programs.

For this endeavor, UM-Flint is partnering with three schools: Monroe County Community College, Lansing Community College, and Wayne County Community College.

Associate degree-holding nurses will be able to complete their BSN at UM-Flint's School of Nursing while taking courses remotely and on community college campuses.
