Aspen University surrenders Arizona nursing program approval; suspends new enrollments in four states
ASPEN GROUP, INC.
- Aspen University voluntarily surrendered program approval for its pre-licensure nursing program in Phoenix due to inability to meet minimum 80% NCLEX first-time pass rate for 2022.
- Current Arizona nursing students will continue; approval automatically surrendered once they complete or within two years, whichever sooner.
- Aspen will also suspend new enrollments and complete instruction for currently enrolled Core nursing students in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas.
- This follows a prior March 2022 consent agreement with the Arizona State Board of Nursing requiring the 80% pass rate.
