NAGC Members Can Access Career-Enhancing Certificate Programs 100% Online
TAMPA, Fla., September 13, 2010 – Villanova University recently partnered with the National Association of Government Contractors (NAGC) and is pleased to offer NAGC members exclusive savings of 10% off online contract management certificate courses, or additional savings off the specially priced master certificate programs in government or commercial contract management.
Villanova’s three-course Master Certificate in Government Contract Management thoroughly prepares students to obtain NAGC certification as a Certified Government Contractor (CGC). For those who are already certified, each course counts as four CGC credits toward the continuing education requirements for recertification. Villanova’s 100% online program also prepares professionals for the Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM) and Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM) designations offered through the National Contract Management Association (NCMA).
“We are proud to be affiliated with Villanova University and confident that this partnership will bring substantial competitive advantages to contract managers nationwide,” said Simon Brody, Director of Communications for the NAGC. “Professionals who have attained a Villanova master certificate and NAGC certification can prove they have the skills and knowledge required to excel in complex government contract negotiations. They’ll also benefit from valuable networking opportunities and national recognition as an expert in the government contract arena.”
Powered by the University Alliance, a worldwide leader in interactive professional education, Villanova’s 100% online training allows busy professionals to expand their contract management expertise and gain respected university credentials around their demanding schedule. Not only will students receive a handsomely framed Villanova certificate upon completion of each course and the master certificate program, but they’ll also be ready to sit for the NAGC and NCMA certification exams.
Villanova’s Master Certificate in Government Contract Management is a comprehensive, end-to-end program that consists of three courses: Essentials of Government Contract Management, Mastering Business Skills and Advanced Contract Management. Each course builds on the last, helping contract managers to hone critical job skills such as contract budgeting and negotiation, defining and planning contracts, and implementing industry best practices.
Villanova collaborates with University Alliance, the nation’s largest facilitator of online degree and certificate programs, to deliver courses via a flexible, video-based e-learning platform that is accessible 24/7.

Busy RNs Seeking Online BSN Programs Enjoy the Benefits of Year-Round Admission With Jacksonville University’s CCNE-Accredited School of Nursing
Jacksonville University Empowers RNs Nationwide to Earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Through Its Online RN to BSN Program and Anytime, Anywhere E-Learning Platform
TAMPA, Fla., September 14, 2010 – As the healthcare industry continues to experience tremendous growth, employers are facing a severe nursing shortage – and many nursing schools have long wait lists as the demand for enrollment exceeds their available openings. However, savvy U.S.-licensed RNs are able to bypass admission waiting lists and obtain an accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree online from a CCNE-accredited nursing school. Jacksonville University has emerged as a leader in online nursing education with one of the largest RN to BSN degree programs in the country.
Online RN to BSN programs are following the growing trend in distance learning for higher education. According to a 2009 report published by the Sloan Consortium, 4.6 million students were taking at least one online course during the fall of 2008. Online enrollments experienced a 17% increase from the previous year, exceeding the 1.2% growth of traditional on-campus enrollment.
Nursing students can greatly benefit from the ease of access that online education programs offer, since many of them work full-time while pursuing their degree. "Today’s adult learners are increasingly interested in flexible programs from accredited, nationally recognized schools. They understand the significant impact a university degree can have on their income and appreciate the convenience online nursing school programs afford,” explained Adrian Marrullier, Executive Vice President of Student Services for the University Alliance, which facilitates the promotion and delivery of Jacksonville University’s online RN to BSN program.
In addition to the flexibility and convenience of online learning, nurses are drawn to Jacksonville University’s online BSN degree program because of its excellent reputation and the fact that it offers six eight-week sessions per year. “RNs can apply to the program at any time and begin their studies within two months of their acceptance, rather than having to wait half a year or longer,” noted Marullier. “They can also be confident in the quality of their education, because Jacksonville University is regionally accredited – which is the highest form of university accreditation available – and its School of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).”
Powered by the University Alliance, a worldwide leader in interactive professional education, Jacksonville University’s online RN to BSN program features a proven, video-based e-learning platform. Students can view lectures anytime and anywhere via streaming video or CD-ROM, and enjoy regular interaction with faculty and their fellow classmates through monitored chat rooms, discussion boards and email.
