      <title>METC Degree Bridge Programs Save Time and Money (and Change Lives!)</title>

      <description>One of the challenges the services faced with the startup of the Medical Education and Training Campus (METC) was the requirement of associate degrees for instructors.  Compounding the issue was that civilian institutions of higher education didn’t recognize all of the credit that was recommended.  This resulted in additional course work, which would slow the time to completion of degree requirements.  This would also frustrate the instructor and require expenditure of additional funds.  So, METC set a course to address the problem.&lt;br/&gt;

The program was developed in conjunction with METC using its curriculum, which was also validated by the National
Council of State Boards of Nursing, and was supported by a Texas Workforce Commission grant.' /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
