CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Taylor Regional Hospital employees and their immediate family members are now eligible for a 10 percent tuition discount for all online degree programs at Campbellsville University thanks to a partnership agreement.

In addition, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing tuition will be dropping to $325 per credit hour before discount starting July 2017. Other bachelor programs are $399 per credit hour before discount and all graduate programs are between $399-$525 per credit hour before discount.



"We are very fortunate to have an outstanding partnership with Campbellsville University, which allows our RNs to return to school and earn their BSN degree," Jane Wheatley, chief executive officer at Taylor Regional Hospital, said.

"Since the nursing program began we have been a clinical rotation site for CU students. By offering tuition reimbursement and scholarships for our staff, many are able to further their education."

"We are very pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Taylor Regional Hospital," Dr. Beverly Rowland, dean of CU's School of Nursing, said.

David Brunner, education liaison for CU, said Taylor Regional Hospital is one of the finest hospital systems in the state. "Taylor has a commitment to excellence. So does Campbellsville, and we are pleased to be able to help Taylor employees gain the knowledge and expertise they need for continued career success, in a flexible and affordable online format."

"We are happy to offer a cost reduction to our partners to enable nurses to enhance their learning and to become stronger healthcare providers for our community," Rowland said. "The partnership with TRH helps to undergird our nursing students with clinical experience. We look forward to a continued affiliation with Taylor Regional Hospital."

CU offers more than 25 online degree programs that include associate, bachelor's and master's programs in areas of business, social work, education, nursing and more.

Taylor Regional Hospital and Campbellsville University are two of the largest employers in the areas with almost 700 people each.

"We appreciate the partnership we have with Campbellsville University and look forward to exploring additional opportunities in the future," Wheatley said.
