Eligible individuals can earn in-demand healthcare
certifications and credit toward a Trine University degree
Trine University has partnered with MedCerts, an online
certification training provider in allied healthcare and
information technology, to offer eligible individuals access to
their full list of programs.
″We’re excited for the opportunity to offer a higher education
pathway through Trine to accompany our high-quality healthcare
training,” said Craig Sprinkle, CEO at MedCerts, a Stride, Inc.
company (NYSE: LRN). “This partnership builds upon our shared
commitment to the healthcare and nursing space while preparing the
workforce of the future.”
As healthcare shortages surge across the country, certificates
are becoming increasingly more important in the industry. According
to the Indiana Hospital Association, Indiana will need roughly
5,000 nurses by 2031. This partnership will allow current and
prospective MedCerts students the opportunity to earn
industry-recognized certifications and take those to Trine for
articulated credits that transfer towards an online degree. This is
the first academic partnership of MedCerts offering articulated
credit transfers for all of their 50-plus healthcare and IT
certification programs. Students could earn up to 12 credits,
saving upwards of $6,000 long-term in tuition costs.
“As a leader in higher education, we aim to be innovative while
remaining flexible as we provide students with the career skills
they need,” said Keirsten Eberts, Associate Vice President and Dean
of Trine University. “We are always seeking new partnerships and
initiatives that prepare students to succeed, lead, and serve, and
our collaboration with MedCerts will do just that.”
As a leader in online healthcare, MedCerts has helped more than
50,000 students earn credentials and start new careers in the
in-demand fields of healthcare and IT. MedCerts has developed more
than 50 immersive online national certification training programs
with best-in-class outcomes.
