This partnership puts GateWay nursing students on the fast track to a master's degree.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GateWay Community College and American College of Education® (ACE) are excited to announce a collaborative effort that will enhance educational pathways for nursing students. The two institutions celebrated this partnership during a signing ceremony at the GateWay Community College Washington Campus on September 25.
This partnership creates a new RN to BSN pathway, through which GateWay students can transfer up to nine credits from their BSN program into ACE's MSN program. Students can also take up to nine credit hours of their MSN concurrently while still in GateWay's BSN program. All told, this pathway can help students reduce their MSN time to completion by six months to a year.

This partnership with ACE allows our BSN students to seamlessly transition into advanced degrees, accelerating their professional growth and positioning them as future leaders in the healthcare industry."
