Gateway Technical College and Cardinal Stritch University-Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing & Health Sciences, have signed a collaborative agreement for concurrent enrollment, in which students are fully immersed in both programs to complete their baccalaureate degree in nursing. Partnership threads between both institution’s  financial, student service, academic advising, and program departments are in place for a true seamless articulation model. The first cohort  will be admitted to the program in fall of 2017. This model is based on similar models in Florida and Minnesota., but it is the first fully integrated collaboration in Wisconsin of this kind. Since Stritch offers all on-line courses, students can come from anywhere. Also, any student who is enrolled in the Stritch partnership will receive a 20% discount on the Stritch tuition.
