MBU TO LAUNCH NURSING PROGRAM IN ST.LOUIS

Missouri Baptist University is set to launch a nursing program in the fall 2017.
The program will be a four year bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program. The new
initiative will be offered at the main campus, starting with 25 students and eventually capping
out at an enrollment of 85.
There is a high demand for more nursing programs in the St. Louis area, Dr. R. Alton Lacey,
president of MBU. We want to help out our future nurses by offering a new program.
There will be an open house for the BSN program for any students who are interested. The open
house will be held in the Mabee Great Hall on August 16 at 6 p.m. The details of the program
will be announced, along with any questions or concerns. MBU will start accepting applications
for the program in January 2017.
Missouri Baptist University is a Christ-centered university located in Saint Louis. MBU offers
more than 40 undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees in education, business and religion and its
new terminal degree, the Doctor of Education. In addition to its 66-acre West St. Louis County
campus, MBU offers degree programs at 10 regional learning centers throughout Saint Louis, in
