The first potential class could
be held as early as January 2008

nership that will serve the NW
Georgia community and help
KSU meet the healthcare needs
of the state,” says Dr. Richard
Sowell, Dean, Kennesaw State
University, WellStar College of
Health and Human Services.
The Accelerated Nursing
Program is a four semester pro

approximately 18 months.
“Appalachian Technical
College is honored to have the
opportunity to partner with

compliment to the College that
KSU will have a presence on
our campus and demonstrates a
productive and beneficial work

schools.”

from the University's School of
Nursing received a tour of the
college and viewed designs for
renovations for the Health
Sciences Wing. Renovations for

The 11,000 sq ft. Health
Sciences Wing will include sim

reception area as well as patient
rooms, medication room and
dedicated computer lab for
health science students.
Kennesaw State University
will use the Health Science
Wing for instruction of the
School of Nursing Accelerated

“We want to ensure the citi
zens of this community have
access to our Accelerated
Program. To that end will offer a
separate application process for
local applicants,” says Dr.
Sowell.
“Our partnership with
Kennesaw State University is a
tremendous opportunity for the
citizens in our region interested
in pursuing a career in the nurs
ing field,” says. Dr. Chandler.

toward a bridge program
between Appalachian Technical
College’s Licensed Practical
Nursing (LPN) Program and the
University’s BSN degree.”
