Online nursing program accredited - Pacific BizJournal
The University of Hawaii has won accreditation for the first online Ph.D. program in nursing. The Ph.D. program prepares students to teach in nurse-education programs, especially those with minority student populations. It received accreditation in February from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Hawaii's shortage of registered nurses is expected to quadruple by 2020, yet there are few faculty in public nursing schools to meet the increasing demand. Hawaii nursing schools turn away hundreds of qualified applicants each year.
