EAST ST. LOUIS The University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Nursing has signed a new articulation agreement with Lewis and Clark Community College’s East St. Louis Higher Education Center.
The agreement provides support for 15-20 underrepresented minority students each year as they begin pursuing their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees through the newly created Bridge to BSN program.
“The field of nursing lacks representation in some areas,” said Justine Patterson, an academic advisor in the College of Nursing who has been involved in establishing the partnership. “This is a great opportunity to help change that by expanding our network and allowing these students a smoother path to a career in the field. I think it’s going to be great for the field of nursing and the overall St. Louis community.”
