Utah Tech University

Utah Tech University recently celebrated its first group of graduates. Twenty-four students earned their Associate of Science degrees in Nursing and were honored at a pinning ceremony in early August. "These graduates are outstanding examples of those who are seeking excellence and professional growth." Associate Professor of Nursing Judy Scott said. "After graduation from the AASN program, all are ready to enter our RN-BSN program to continue to grow and learn." Utah Tech partnered with Dixie Technical College to provide pathway options for students who have already become licensed practical nurses or earned their paramedic certifications and want to work toward becoming a registered nurse.
