It’s no secret: Austin and the surrounding area is changing. And if ACC is to continuing meeting the needs of our community, so too must we grow and evolve. One way the college is currently rising to the challenge is by implementing its first Bachelor’s degree program, expected to begin Fall 2018.
In response to crucial workforce demands in Central Texas, the RN-to-BSN (Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing) program was approved by the ACC Board of Trustees in December. The first program of its kind in our region, it will provide an affordable and accessible pipeline for Registered Nurses to earn their BSN and accelerate their careers.
The Board has also approved an Associate of Science in Emergency Management degree. Also scheduled to start this Fall, it will provide ACC students with the opportunity to pursue a career in emergency services – not a moment too soon, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the need for jobs in this field will increase by 22% through 2027.
