Cooper University Health Care Partnership
An academic-clinical collaboration supporting the next generation of nursing professionals
How It Works
Rutgers-Camden School of Nursing and Cooper University Health Care have teamed to collaborate and expand our organizations' relationship across education, research, and clinical practice to build a stronger future nursing workforce in South Jersey.
This partnership provides an exclusive discount to current Cooper employees seeking to enroll in any of the following programs:
- RN to Bachelor of Science (BS) in Nursing
- Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
- Post-master's Nurse Educator Certificate
- Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (WOC) Certificate
To participate, Cooper-employed students must meet all admission criteria and receive acceptance to Rutgers-Camden School of Nursing. Cooper employees should notify the graduate program coordinator upon acceptance that they are employed by Cooper University Health Care. The tuition discount will then be credited to their student term bill.
