Sitting Bull College (SBC)

The nursing program continues to be one of the largest programs. The nursing program had remained consistent with students in the entire major averaging about 25 students. We did experience a drop in student numbers within the nursing core courses as they moved from fall to spring. Enrollment went from six to three last fall in core nursing courses to three students in the spring. There are six of seven students that will graduate from the practical nursing basic program this spring and one is planned to graduate this july. The board remains concerned about personnel and workload as well as the limiting of the growth of the program because of not enough personnel. Therefore the cap on the number of students remains at 10. The five year accreditation site visit occurred this october per zoom and went very well!
