The school was approved at the baccalaureate level to offer the RN to BSN in 2012 and the Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management in 2013, both of which are fully online. In 2016, the Associate of Applied Science in Radiologic Technology and the Associate of Applied Science in Diagnostic Medical Sonography were approved for both resident and fully online delivery.
