McKendree Discounts Tuition for KCTC Grads, Locks in BSN Tuition Rate
Louisville and Radcliff, Ky. — McKendree University will offer two significant tuition
discounts beginning this fall. The university will offer Kentucky community college
students a significant tuition discount and it will also offer students in the RN-BSN
program an actual tuition lock for three years.
With the first tuition discount, any student who has graduated with an associate degree
from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) within the last five
years is eligible to receive a 10 percent discount on tuition. The offer is valid
for all on-site bachelor of business administration (BBA) degree programs, computer
information systems (CSI) and the RN-to-BSN program. It does not apply to online programs.
Students must attend McKendree University continuously to work toward their degree
and must complete their degree requirements within three years of starting the program.
To remain eligible, students must receive a grade for a minimum of one class each
fall and spring semester.
With the second tuition discount, the University will not raise its tuition rate for
its RN-to-BSN nursing program for three years from the program’s start date. Registered
nurses employed by a designated hospital may complete their entire McKendree University
BSN degree at the current tuition rate at the time of their initial enrollment.
To remain eligible, a registered nurse must maintain employment at one of eight designated
hospitals and complete a minimum of one class each per fall and spring semester. Termination
of employment will void the locked rate tuition guarantee. (The nurse may continue
to remain in the BSN program, however tuition will revert to the current standard
rate for that term.)
“These initiatives offer tremendous opportunities for students to achieve a valuable
McKendree University bachelor’s degree,” said Karen Gerstner, director of the University’s
Centers at Louisville and Radcliff.
