Taylor And Indiana Wesleyan Universities Combine For Two-Degree Nursing Program

Without a nursing program, Taylor University officials say the school has lost students. In order to stay competitive, Taylor has partnered with Indiana Wesleyan for a program that will let students earn two degrees in four years.

Bill Toll is the Dean of the School of Natural and Applied Sciences at Taylor. He says this partnership simply made sense for the university.

“They’re such a good partner because they’re so close, and we have a lot in common. We know people over there etc., so it just made a lot of sense that that would be where we would start.”

Students can enroll in this program as early as this fall. At Taylor, they will develop a strong foundation in the sciences. Then at Indiana Wesleyan, they’ll enter an accelerated nursing. Once finished, students will earn degrees in public health from Taylor and nursing from Indiana Wesleyan.
