Virginia Appalachian Tricollege Nursing Program…To Become Three Stand Alone Programs

After four decades as a trio that formed the Virginia Appalachian Tricollege Nursing Program, Mountain Empire Community College, Southwest Virginia Community College, and Virginia Highlands Community College will move forward as three independent, stand alone nursing programs. The reorganization is expected to strengthen the nursing programs at each school and is also projected to expand clinical opportunities for nursing students, closer to home. The reorganization becomes effective this May.
