There are few opportunities for graduates of technical programs to receive such generous credit acceptance toward a bachelor of science degree. Other technology degrees Slippery Rock University also offers a bachelor of science degree in information technology and will begin next fall to offer a bachelor of science in communication, with a specialty in emerging technologies. Other related undergraduate programs offered by SRU's College of Information Science and Business Administration include computer science and information systems. Nurse practitioner program SRU's family nurse practitioner program, under the direction of Dr. Joyce Penrose White, associate professor of nursing, continued substantial growth in 1999 and is providing impact on the region's health care delivery system. The joint program combines the nursing faculty at Slippery Rock and Clarion universities to offers convenient, comprehensive, distance-learning classes to nursing seeking to expand their medical knowledge into the growing field of family nurse practitioner.
Nurse practitioners work in conjunction with physicians in diagnosing and treating illness.
White says she sees even more emphasis being placed on the health-care services that can be delivered by nurses, especially in rural and remote areas of Pennsylvania. Saturday visitation for high school students Increasing numbers of those applying to SRU took advantage of the university Admission Office's new program offering a quick response to admissions. Under the program, students who bring their application fee, SAT or ACT scores, high school grade transcript and letter of admission to a Saturday Visitation are told before they leave if they will be admitted. The visitation program makes faculty available to detail major programs, along with representatives from financial aid, housing and student services organizations. A campus tour and complimentary lunch conclude the day.
