What are the differences between a diploma and a degree program?
To help eliminate confusion, the West Virginia University School of Nursing is not affiliated with the recently announced 21-month diploma program being offered by WVU Medicine (WVUM). The WVUM diploma program will allow graduates to take registered nurse licensing exams but will not result in an associate or bachelor's degree.
