NEWS RELEASE

NORTHFIELD, Vt. –
Officials at Norwich University’s School of Graduate and Continuing Studies (SGCS) announced the launch of the Master of Arts in History (MAH) online program with a concentration in American History to begin in December 2011.

The MAH focuses on increasing the student’s expertise in researching, analyzing, interpreting and synthesizing historical knowledge. Students use these concepts to analyze and debate major historical events and themes. The challenge posed to students is to find and use evidence to support new interpretations of significant events in the nation’s history.

The teaching faculty is comprised of PhD level subject matter experts and published historians in the field of American history.

The 36 credit hour program can be completed in as few as 18 months.

“Norwich University has a long and deep history of contributions to our nation, both in the military and civilian worlds,” said William Clements, dean and vice president of SGCS. “I am pleased that our new program will allow students to study American history in depth and more fully examine our national heritage, as well as afford the opportunity to appreciate how Norwich has evolved as part of that history.”

NORTHFIELD, Vt. –
Officials at Norwich University’s School of Graduate and Continuing Studies (SGCS) announced the award of two different grants that will support students in the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program.

Both grants are from the US Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration.

“These grants provide assistance to the MSN students who receive the direct benefit of financial support to help defray some of their educational costs,” said Director of Nursing Valerie McCarthy. “Norwich University is delighted this resource is available for students.”

The Advanced Education Nurse Traineeship award is a continuation of last year’s grant and provides $20,000 for a needs-based graduate student stipend. Last year this grant supported 13 students in the MSN program.

The National Faculty Loan Repayment Program will provide $153,000 towards repayment of student loans to those graduates that go into teaching upon graduation.

These federal nursing awards address the country’s need for a steady supply of qualified nurse leaders, according Rod Hicks, Ph.D, RN, director of the MSN Program.

“I am proud of our MSN students’ accomplishments and the role Norwich University has played in helping them to assume positions of leadership in federal, military, and civilian health settings,” he said.

SGCS’s MSN is an online program that offers two concentrations – nursing administration and nursing education – and is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
