San Jacinto BSN Fall 2019

[MP3189]

Hello Everyone!

I was wondering if you all have heard that San Jacinto College is developing a BSN for nursing. About two summers ago governor Abbott implemented through a Law for them to allow students to complete a BSN at a community college. Of course, as of know San Jacinto is only participating at least to my knowledge. I recently asked if they will be making an announcment but they said not yet. I hope they do it was amazing for them to implement this program for next fall.

Nope. Pathway to BSN | San Jacinto College. It's a pathway. Jr colleges do not grant 4 year degrees, it is common for them to have pathway degrees.

Actually the original poster is correct. I haven't found any new info on it though but here are two articles lining out some of the details. The first article says Fall 2019.
