The teacher-learner relationship is enhanced when accountabilities and expected outcomes are clear. Students are supported and guided by the faculty to become active participants in learning in order to achieve professional and personal goals.

Kelsi Fields ’23, Bachelor of Science in Nursing
“The nursing program did an excellent job preparing me for the nursing field. The professors were great at explaining aspects I didn’t fully understand. I felt very encouraged and supported in my journey at RSU. Use your resources in your field of study. My advisor was so helpful my last semester when I was deciding on what job to accept. She helped me realize where I’d be a good fit. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.”
