UTRGV joined the endeavor in March 2018 to offer students who completed the program a pathway to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. 

The PSJA students have been accepted into the nursing program, contingent upon their completion of a few additional classes before they begin the BSN program, and maintenance of a grade point average higher than 3.5.
