Helpful Facts about the Flexible Process Program for LVN’s:
The Flexible Process Program is based in the principles of adult learning theory. We work with students as individuals to make their educational experiences with us meaningful to them and to offer an environment that allows for collegial relationships to form and flourish. All of the required courses offer the student an opportunity to obtain test-out credit for the course through examination and written assignments.
Several courses in the program are Web enhanced so that in-class time is balanced with student work online. WebCT is the program we use for this. Software that will support this program and other required course work is available at a very significant discount at the University Bookstore to students in the program.
