PWSCC is developing a two-year Associate’s in Nursing degree program in collaboration with UAA’s Nursing program. The program will be deliverable to rural and Native populations through traditional on-campus instruction and using distance learning technology. This program is intended to help address the demand throughout the state, particularly in rural communities, for qualified health care professionals. PWSCC administration partnered with Providence Valdez Medical Center and experts in the health care field in the development of this project.

This program is made possible through a federally funded Title III grant, which provides access to educational opportunities for Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian peoples.  While the new nursing program will be open to all, potential students from these populations are especially encouraged to participate. The Title III grant provides the college with $499,962 in the 2006/07 fiscal year, with the grant scheduled to run for five years and total $2,487,250. The funding will allow the college to update its science laboratory and classroom facilities.
