The <strong>ACM</strong>has afforded me the opportunity to work part-timeand complete the Doctor <strong>of</strong> Nursing Practice – PublicHealth (DNP-PHN) option program at the University<strong>of</strong> Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), inMemphis, TN in two years. Without the availability<strong>of</strong> <strong>ACM</strong>, my ability to obtain this terminal degree inmy area <strong>of</strong> expertise would not have been possible.The reduced expense <strong>of</strong> not having to pay out-<strong>of</strong> -state tuition has allowed me to attend the programwithout additional student loans.”—Janette S.
