I'm pleased to have been involved in helping to provide an opportunity for registered nurses to further their education. It will impact their opportunities as well as patient care. Sauk Valley serves many working adults who do not have the freedom to go away to school because of family responsibilities and travel times, said Thomas Gospodarczyk, dean of Corporate and Community Services at the college. Sauk also partners with Western Illinois University, National Lewis University and Mount St. Claire College to offer bachelor's degrees. NIU is the first four-year partner to offer advanced studies in health care.
People are interested in moving on and getting a degree beyond that.
This will meet a big need in this area. This page is maintained by the NIU Office of Public Affairs.
