| The University of Saint Francis has announced an open house on
Thursday, May 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. (CDT) at the Marian Education
Center in the St. Anthony Medical Center, Suites A and B, 1201
S. Main Street, Crown Point, Indiana. During the open house, the
public is welcome to view the university's facilities, meet faculty and
students and learn about the programs and financial aid.
The Crown Point site began offering degree programs in 2007. During
its first year of operation, a number of programs were added such as a Master of Science in
Nursing--Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), a Master of Science in
Nursing--Community Health and Education (CHE), an RN-MSN Transition
Sequence, and a Master of Science in Healthcare Administration (MHA). A
new program for fall of 2009 will be a generic Associate of Science in
Nursing (ASN).
The academic programs at Crown Point are exactly the same as those
run by the university at its main campus in Fort Wayne, and expectations
are that additional programs from Fort Wayne will be added in Crown
Point on a regular basis. In 2008, the university announced that it had
purchased land in Crown Point for an eventual new building.
Crown Point programs may be completed through full or part time study
and feature a variety of online and onsite delivery modes. For more
information, phone the USF Crown Point site at 219-681-6800, email
cpadm@sf.edu or visit online at
