Beginning in the fall 2018 semester, Â鶹ÊÓƵ will implement a Clinical Resource Fee for students enrolled in all Nursing clinical courses: NURS 211, NURS 213, NURS 337, NURS 331, NURS 333, NURS 437, NURS 440, NURS 431, and NURS 433.
It is well known that nursing degrees are in high demand across the country; however, a nursing education is very costly for universities to deliver. To provide a safe educational experience in the clinical area, faculty student ratios are kept low so as to provide a safe clinical experience for students. This low faculty student ratio adds significantly to the cost of the program.
Beginning fall 2018, a $75 per credit fee is assessed for high-cost clinical courses. We are proud that Â鶹ÊÓƵ is one of the most affordable universities in the state of Pennsylvania. While we are aware that the Clinical Resource Fee creates an added expense, it is absolutely necessary to compensate for the low faculty-student ratios in these courses.
