Gainesville, Ga— Lanier Technical College and Brenau University have signed an articulation agreement to seamlessly transfer course credits from Lanier Tech’s Associate of Science in Nursing program to Brenau’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. This articulation agreement was designed to offer a career-defining pathway for nursing students to continue their education and to aid Georgia’s nursing shortage.
“Lanier Technical College is thankful for this impactful partnership with Dr. Barnett and Brenau University that allows our ASN graduates a local pathway for further career growth,” Lanier Tech President, Tim McDonald said. “As higher education institutes, we not only owe our students every opportunity possible for career development, but we also must support the needs of the robust healthcare sector in Northeast Georgia. This milestone agreement gives our graduates and our healthcare systems a competitive advantage as the demand for a talented healthcare workforce continues to grow. Collaboration is a hallmark of our community, and I am grateful to add this agreement to our partnership with Brenau University.”
