    Testimonial

    EKG Melissa Amavisca“I heard a lot of good things about the medical programs at KSU and started out as an undergraduate aspiring to enter the nursing program. My focus and schedule shifted, and I ended up choosing the path provided by continuing education. The instructors all had different backgrounds which was great along with the real-world experience the programs provided. It gave me the experience to work in a hospital and become a nurse.”
    — Melissa Amavisca, graduate
