New York ed tech company launching nursing program in Nashville

Education technology holding company Aspen Group has been approved by the state to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing in Nashville, with the company undergoing $900,000 in renovations to a building formerly housing Strayer University. 

Aspen University — the educational arm of Aspen — will offer a two- to three-year pre-licensure nursing program beginning this fall in clinical partnership with NorthCrest Medical Center, Trust Point Hospital and Nashville General Hospital. The new program will be Aspen’s fifth expansion since 2018, with plans to operate 12 BSN programs by 2025, according to a press release.
