If a person read LaJasmine's post, it states that she is pursuing a degree in nursing. I know that she will not need to attend a four-year university to become an RN. The RN program at 2-year colleges is geared to producing quality nurses who focused on those courses exclusively. While it is true that promotions occur more frequently for those with their BS, an Associate's from an excellent 2-year school can equal an education and qualifications as good as or better then some 4-year programs that end in a BS. She would not need to attend a 4-year to pursue her career goals.
At this point the main advantage she would acquire at the 4-year would be an extra two years and joining a sorority. That may not the best reason for her to invest that much time and money.
Perhaps some of the orgs make exeptions for those in medical or professional settings that do not require the BS for success on the job.
