Vanderbilt University School of Nursing
About Vanderbilt University School of Nursing
The Vanderbilt University School of Nursing opened in 1909, offering a three-year diploma program in nursing. The first Bachelor of Science degree was awarded in 1936 and the first Master's degree in nursing in 1958. The School of Nursing is one of the nation's first nursing programs to incorporate nursing into a liberal arts degree. Having phased out its undergraduate degree program in 1989, the School now offers a curriculum that enables pre-specialty students from diverse backgrounds to move into the master's level study and prepare for careers in advanced practice nursing. Currently, U.S. News and World Report ranks the School of Nursing within the top 20 at 19th place.
The Vanderbilt University School of Nursing is approved by the Tennessee Board of Nursing. It was a charter member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Nursing, which later was incorporated into the National League for Nursing (NLN). The MSN program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC), 61 Broadway, 33rd floor, New York, New York 10006.

Vanderbilt for the project of building a university in the South that would "contribute to strengthening the ties which should exist between all sections of our common country."Vanderbilt has approximately 114,000 living alumni, with 31 alumni clubs established worldwide. Vanderbilt alumni have made significant contributions in politics, in the arts, and in the sciences including Dr. Mildred Stahlman, who pioneered modern neonatal care around the world.
Since 1909, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing has established a reputation for excellence in nursing education.

Hallmark College of Technology
About Hallmark College of Technology
Hallmark College of Technology was founded in 1969 as Hallmark-Aero Tech. Richard H. Fessler, co-founder, began the school with the primary purpose of serving students, industry, and the community.
The Federal Aviation Administration certified Hallmark as an Aviation Maintenance Technician School on September 18, 1969, and the doors were opened for eight students. The original campus was located at San Antonio’s historic Stinson Municipal Airport.
Richard H. Fessler became the school’s president in 1974. His leadership and commitment to quality education guided the school through the 70s and 80s with significant accomplishment.
In 1981, their Electronics Program was launched. In 1982, Hallmark received degree-granting approval and became the first private career school in the State of Texas to award an associate degree.
By January 1985, the growth of their school programs made it possible to open a second campus. The Electronics Program was relocated to the northwest corridor of San Antonio at 10401 lH-10 West. In 1988, Business Programs were launched at this new campus.
In 1995, the Aviation Technology Programs were relocated to a new campus at the San Antonio International Airport. At this time, Hallmark Aero-Tech became known as Hallmark Institute of Aeronautics and Hallmark Institute of Technology.
In their continuing quest for excellence in education, Hallmark College strives to meet the current and future demands of business, industry, and the community by continuing to expand and develop their programs. As a result, in 2002 Hallmark College introduced a new degree program in Computer Network Systems Technology and 2003 new degree programs in Medical Assistant and Business Office Administration.
Over the years Hallmark College has earned a reputation for providing quality education and service. Currently, Richard H. Fessler serves as Chairman of Hallmark College and Joe Fisher serves as President. In 2007, the names of the two campuses were changed to Hallmark College of Aeronautics and Hallmark College of Technology.

Hallmark College of Technology was founded in 1969 as Hallmark-Aero Tech. Richard H. Fessler, co-founder, began the school with the primary purpose of serving students, industry, and the community.
The Federal Aviation Administration certified Hallmark as an Aviation Maintenance Technician School on September 18, 1969, and the doors were opened for eight students. The original campus was located at San Antonio’s historic Stinson Municipal Airport.
Richard H. Fessler became the school’s president in 1974. His leadership and commitment to quality education guided the school through the 70s and 80s with significant accomplishment.
In 1981, their Electronics Program was launched. In 1982, Hallmark received degree-granting approval and became the first private career school in the State of Texas to award an associate degree.
By January 1985, the growth of their school programs made it possible to open a second campus. The Electronics Program was relocated to the northwest corridor of San Antonio at 10401 lH-10 West. In 1988, Business Programs were launched at this new campus.
In 1995, the Aviation Technology Programs were relocated to a new campus at the San Antonio International Airport. At this time, Hallmark Aero-Tech became known as Hallmark Institute of Aeronautics and Hallmark Institute of Technology.
In their continuing quest for excellence in education, Hallmark College strives to meet the current and future demands of business, industry, and the community by continuing to expand and develop their programs. As a result, in 2002 Hallmark College introduced a new degree program in Computer Network Systems Technology and 2003 new degree programs in Medical Assistant and Business Office Administration.
Over the years Hallmark College has earned a reputation for providing quality education and service. Currently, Richard H. Fessler serves as Chairman of Hallmark College and Joe Fisher serves as President. In 2007, the names of the two campuses were changed to Hallmark College of Aeronautics and Hallmark College of Technology. In 2008, the College had approved Microsoft Office seminars and Microsoft Technical seminars, the Medical Assistant Certificate program and the Healthcare Information Specialist (Billing/Coding) Certificate program.

Western Governors University Online | WGU
About Western Governors University Online (WGU)
Truly a university without boundaries, Western Governors University Online is a non-profit online university founded and supported by 19 U.S. governors. At no other time in the history of higher education have the governors of several states joined together to create a university.
The idea for WGU was born in 1995 at a bipartisan meeting of the Western Governors Association (hence our "western" name). Going into the meeting, the chair of the association—Utah governor Mike Leavitt—had the foresight to realize that distance learning technologies had the power to tackle one of the western states’ most pressing problems: rapid population growth confronted by limited public funds for educational services.
The governors decided then and there to create their own university. They agreed that this new university would make maximum use of distance learning technologies, would be collaborative among the western member states, and would use competencies rather than seat time as the measure of its outcomes.
To do this, the governors enlisted the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE) and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) to help design the newly envisioned university. Five themes remained central to the effort:
WGU was chartered in 1996, was incorporated as a private, non-profit university in 1997, and began accepting students in 1999.
WGU is very mission driven. Created to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs, WGU’s mission has remained one of helping hardworking adults meet their educational goals and improve their career opportunities.
To fulfill the mission, the founding governors also insisted that WGU be affordable, flexible, and student-focused. Hence, WGU strives to serve as many students as possible—including minorities, first-generation college students, those with modest incomes, and others whose lives or geographic locations do not allow them to attend traditional, campus-based colleges.
WGU has flourished into a national university, serving over 12,000 students from all 50 states, yet remains non-bureaucratic and innovative. It continues to receive praise for its academic model and to enhance its reputation with employers for the emphasis on graduating highly competent professionals.
One of the best values in online education, the Western Governors online university provides a convenient and cost-effective way for self-directed, hardworking adults like you to earn your degree and get ahead. Here’s what ultimately sets WGU apart:
Tuition costs across the nation are going up significantly every year. But not at WGU. A major part of Western Governors University’s mission as a non-profit university is to keep tuition low. So low, in fact, that their tuition is typically half what other reputable online universities and traditional colleges charge.
You don’t just save on rates alone; you can also be rewarded for your hard work. Western Governors University charges tuition at a flat rate every six months, so you’re simply paying for the time you need to prove your competence. If you can complete your program in less time, you only pay tuition for the time it takes. Essentially, the faster you progress, the more you save—a big incentive to work hard that you won’t find at other major schools.
TIME Magazine called WGU "the best relatively cheap university you've never heard of."
Western Governors University is Competency-Based and Not Credit Hour Based
Western Governors University’s online degrees are based on real-world competencies as opposed to seat time or credit hours. Their focus is on ensuring you possess the skills and knowledge you need to be successful, not whether you’ve attended class or not. ("Show us what you know, not how long you’ve been there.")
You’ll be able to take advantage of what you already know. After all, your progress is determined by whether you can "prove" you know your stuff. If you can prove it sooner than later because of prior experience and education, perfect! You’ll be able to draw upon this experience to complete assessments faster, ultimately saving you both time and money.
Western Governors University is Flexible
Online learning "WGU style" is quite flexible, even compared to other online universities. Your program is personalized to your schedule in several ways, providing you the flexibility you need to be successful in all areas of your life, not just in school.
In fact, many of their graduates have commented on how nice it was to work their education around their jobs and family, not the other way around.
Western Governors University Support System
You will never feel alone as an online student at WGU. Western Governors University won’t leave you on your own to figure out what resources are available to you. You’ll have a dedicated partner in your education: a mentor committed to connecting you to what you need to succeed. Your mentor will work with you until you graduate. You’ll get to know your mentor as an advisor, a coach, a cheerleader—even a friend.
When you enroll, you become so much more than a student — you become part of a community of students, faculty, mentors, and staff all united under one common goal: your success.
Nationally and Regionally Accredited
Western Governors University is nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). WGU is also regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, one of the major accrediting commissions recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
Regional accreditation is considered the highest form of accreditation given to institutions. The Northwest Commission is also responsible for the accreditation of other major institutions such as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, Gonzaga University, University of Utah, University of Idaho, and Brigham Young University, to name just a few.
NCATE Accredited
The WGU Teachers College is the first and only exclusively online provider of teacher education to receive accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The NCATE accrediting team extensively reviewed the entire WGU Teachers College curriculum to ensure that "candidates have the knowledge and skills to be effective in helping all students learn." NCATE is the premier specialized accrediting body for teacher preparation and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. It accredits colleges of education that produce over two-thirds of the nation’s new teacher graduates annually.
CCNE Accredited
WGU’s nursing degree programs are now accredited by the Commission for Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
USDLA Recognized Institution
WGU was presented the 2008 International Distance Learning Awards in two categories by the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA):
These awards are in recognition of WGU’s achievements as the nation’s first competency-based online university and their success in expanding access to higher education for adults seeking bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
WGU has the distinction of being the only university to receive regional accreditation simultaneously from four regional accrediting commissions. In part because of their founding by the governors of 19 U.S. states, which encompass a wide geographic region, WGU was simultaneously reviewed by a special committee—the Inter-Regional Accrediting Committee—comprised of representatives from four regional accrediting commissions. In February 2003, the committee awarded WGU accreditation in all four regions, an extraordinary recognition that had never before nor since occurred. The Northwest Commission is considered WGU’s “home” accrediting body because the university’s main offices are located in Utah, which falls under the review of the commission. WGU still continues to be an institution with a broad focus and a mission to expand access to higher education. The university serves students in all 50 states and military installations abroad
Truly a university without boundaries, Western Governors University Online is a non-profit online university founded and supported by 19 U.S. governors. At no other time in the history of higher education have the governors of several states joined together to create a university.
The idea for WGU was born in 1995 at a bipartisan meeting of the Western Governors Association (hence our "western" name). Going into the meeting, the chair of the association—Utah governor Mike Leavitt—had the foresight to realize that distance learning technologies had the power to tackle one of the western states’ most pressing problems: rapid population growth confronted by limited public funds for educational services.
The governors decided then and there to create their own university. They agreed that this new university would make maximum use of distance learning technologies, would be collaborative among the western member states, and would use competencies rather than seat time as the measure of its outcomes.
To do this, the governors enlisted the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE) and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) to help design the newly envisioned university. Five themes remained central to the effort:
Responsiveness to employment and societal needs.
A focus on competency-based education.
Expanding access.
Cost-effectiveness.
Development of a technology infrastructure.
WGU was chartered in 1996, was incorporated as a private, non-profit university in 1997, and began accepting students in 1999.
WGU is very mission driven. Created to expand access to higher education through online, competency-based degree programs, WGU’s mission has remained one of helping hardworking adults meet their educational goals and improve their career opportunities.

Devry History
DeVry Inc. was created in 1987 through the merger of DeVry Institutes and Keller Graduate School of Management, which comprise the company's largest division, DeVry University. The company completed its initial public offering in June 1991, and now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DV.
DeVry's historical roots trace back to 1931, when Dr. Herman DeVry established DeForest Training School in Chicago to prepare students for technical work in electronics, motion pictures, radio and later, television. The name was changed to DeVry Technical Institute in 1953, and then became DeVry Institute of Technology in 1968.
Over time, the DeVry system expanded its curricula and degree offerings. In 1957, the DeVry Institutes achieved associate-degree-granting status in electronics engineering technology, now called electronics and computer technology, and 12 years later were authorized to grant bachelor's degrees in the same discipline.
In 1966, DeVry was purchased by Bell and Howell Education Group, and the company continued to expand. Under Bell and Howell's ownership, DeVry grew from two campuses in Chicago and Toronto to 11 locations in eight states and two Canadian provinces. DeVry's curricula expanded further, as a second bachelor's degree program in computer science for business (since renamed computer information systems) was introduced in 1979. During the 1980s, in response to a growing demand for professionals with business and technology expertise, DeVry introduced bachelor's degree programs in accounting, business administration and telecommunications management, the latter renamed network and communications management in 2003.
In 1987, DeVry merged with Keller Graduate School of Management after the graduate school, founded by two former DeVry executives, completed a leveraged buyout of DeVry Institutes from Bell and Howell.
Keller Graduate School of Management, founded in 1973 as the CBA Institute, had been established to provide a practitioner-oriented approach to management education. Founders Dennis J. Keller and Ronald L. Taylor launched the school's master of business administration degree program in 1976 and expanded the school to five sites in Chicago, the Chicago suburbs and Milwaukee, Wis.
After the merger of DeVry Institutes and Keller Graduate School of Management, the two institutions continued to expand both programmatically and geographically. In the 1990s, DeVry launched its technical management program, which is designed for those holding associate degrees and seeking a bachelor's degree, as well as programs in information technology and computer engineering technology. Keller added six additional master's degree programs in management fields such as human resources and telecommunications.
In 1996, DeVry Inc. acquired Becker CPA Review, now Becker Professional Review. Becker helps certified public accountant, certified management accountant and chartered financial analyst candidates prepare for professional certification exams by providing training programs that are highly responsive to students' needs.
In 1998, Keller Graduate School of Management received approval from the North Central Association to offer its master's degree programs online, and DeVry Institutes followed, offering its bachelor's of science in business administration online, in 2000.
In February 2002, DeVry Institutes and Keller Graduate School of Management became DeVry University, following the approval of The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.
In May 2003, DeVry Inc. acquired Ross University. Ross University is one of the largest medical and veterinary schools in the world.

In July 2003 DeVry University began offering new degree programs in the fields of biomedical engineering technology, biomedical informatics and health information technology. These new programs, which are at the intersection of technology and health services, are in response to the increasing demand for technology professionals with an understanding of health-related fields.
DeVry added its newest bachelor's degree program, game and simulation programming, in January 2005, joining a small number of colleges and universities to offer a degree program in this emerging academic field.

The “Chamberlain” name derives from the Middle English word chaumberlein, which means “chief steward.” We selected this name to exemplify the nurse as the chief steward of patient care and to underscore the solid historical foundation of Deaconess.
Chamberlain offers associate degree (ASN/ADN and LPN/ASN) and Bachelor of Science degree (BSN) nursing programs at its St, Louis, MO campus as well as an ASN degree online. Additionally, Chamberlain offers a “Fast Track” online Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree completion program that provides registered nurses across the country the opportunity to advance their careers by earning a BSN degree in as few as 12 months.
