The partnership features an ACE tuition reduction and a nursing transfer opportunity

Text size:

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 / A recent partnership between American College of Education (ACE) and Arizona College of Nursing (AZCN) allows AZCN employees and graduates to receive tuition reduction on any ACE program. The agreement also offers AZCN bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) graduates the opportunity to apply up to nine credits toward ACE's master of science in nursing (MSN) program, reducing cost and completion time.

"We're thrilled about partnering with AZCN," ACE Chief Growth Officer Monica Carson said. "This partnership demonstrates our mutual commitment to accessible learning. Additionally, the nursing program transfer pathway allows aspiring nurse leaders to maximize their BSN credits and complete an MSN. An increase in nurse leaders is a direct lifeline to today's national nursing shortages."

From an original total cost of $11,930 to a reduced $8,092¹, the BSN to MSN pathway agreement with AZCN enhances affordability and shortens completion time from 16 months to one year.²

"Partnering with ACE represents aligned missions and commitments to supporting career development through the power of higher education," Jason Anderson, AZCN Chief Executive Officer added. "The benefits not only impact continued growth opportunities for our students, but also the communities they will serve."

¹All values shown are an estimated value of the cost of tuition and fees. Actual amounts may vary depending on the number of transfer credits applied to the selected program hours, the pace and satisfactory completion of the selected program, the receipt of scholarship or grant amounts, or adjustments to tuition or fees as described in the Catalog Right to Modify Tuition section. State sales and use tax will apply where required by law.

²This is an estimated time to completion. Actual completion time may vary depending on the number of transfer credits applied, availability of courses, satisfactory pace, multiple course requests, successful course completion, and meeting program milestones as required.
