Amarillo College Texas Vocational Nursing Program
Temple College announced this morning that Texas Tech University has signed a memorandum of understanding to join the East Williamson County Higher Education Center (EWCHEC) as a partner.
Soon Dr. Lee Ogburn-Russell, Temple College associate vice president for health sciences, will work with Tech’s school of nursing to add a nursing program to the multi-institutional teaching center, according to EWCHEC director Chuck McCarter.
Tech’s first step in signing on with EWCHEC could push other major universities that have expressed interest in EWCHEC to join, McCarter said.
The ease of access to so many post-secondary institutions in one place will expand opportunities for children and young people in Central Texas — east Williamson County in particular.
Temple College already has a licensed vocational nurse training program, and if Tech brings more nursing opportunities, students could go on to receive a Bachelor of Science in nursing degree.
“With gas as expensive as it is, and with travel as difficult as it is, it means local opportunities for the communities of East Williamson County,” McCarter said.
In addition to ease of access, area high school students will have the opportunity through EWCHEC to speed up the college process.
Legacy Early College High School, a program available at TCAT and currently in its second year of operation, allows students to get on a fast track toward college success, earning up to 60 hours of college credit before graduating high school.
Legacy will be linked to EWCHEC, to allow students to make an easy — and inexpensive — transition from high school to college, getting a jump-start on higher degrees at partner institutions, according to McCarter.
Legacy and TCAT are joined by Texas State Technical College Waco and Hutto and Taylor ISDs in the effort to push EWCHEC forward, and the new collaboration with Tech proves it is still expanding.
“It’s kind of a one-stop shop for higher education and workforce readiness,” McCarter said. “EWCHEC is meant to be the central hub, and Temple College the managing partner.” (source)
