Nashville State and Herzing University create new opportunity for nursing students

Nashville State Community College (NSCC) announced a partnership with Herzing University Monday to allow graduates of its nursing program to enroll at Herzing University for Junior grade-level standing in the university’s bachelor of science nursing program.

Nashville State President Dr. Shanna L. Jackson, and Herzing University Associate Vice President of Community & Educational Partnerships Thomas P. Perin Sr., signed the articulation agreement on NSCC’s White Bridge campus in Nashville.

“Nashville State is committed to creating and expanding clear pathways for our students to continue their education or start a career,” said Dr. Jackson. “This is the sixth such transfer agreement in the past few years that Nashville State entered into to streamline continued education for our graduates. We thank Herzing University for working with us on this pathway.”

Nashville State Nursing graduates have an NCLEX licensure exam pass rate of 97.1% and a job place placement rate of 99.5% between 2016 and 2021

Herzing University is a private university located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with satellite campuses across the country, and locally in Nashville.

“Herzing University is proud to partner with Nashville State Community College and appreciate Dr. Jackson and her team for working with us to establish this partnership,” said Perin, Sr. “This articulation agreement fits well for transferring nursing students from Nashville State as the majority of the enrollment at Herzing University is in Healthcare and Nursing. Herzing is committed to the success of all students, which includes the graduates from our 60+ community and technical college partners.”
