I don’t have live access to current news right now. Here’s what I can share based on available information up to recent years, with a note on limitations.
- Aspen University’s School of Nursing has operated a Phoenix campus labeled as the Elwood Campus, located at 4615 East Elwood Street, Phoenix, AZ 85040, and has been part of Aspen’s BSN Pre-Licensure program in the Phoenix area [Aspen Phoenix Campuses page excerpt]. This campus has been described as the main Elwood site with renovations completed around 2018 to support BSN pre-licensure activities [Phoenix Campuses page excerpt].
- In Arizona, Aspen’s nursing program has faced regulatory scrutiny in the past, including actions by the Arizona State Board of Nursing and related teach-out arrangements. Reports from 2022–2024 indicate periods of heightened oversight, possible program suspension, and subsequent teach-outs or consent agreements with the board and accrediting bodies [ABC15 and FOX 10 reporting excerpts].
- Publicly available coverage noted that Arizona regulators placed heightened scrutiny on Aspen’s nursing program, with developments including potential shutdown actions that were later addressed through consent agreements or teach-out arrangements, and that graduates completed under those arrangements in some cases [ABC15 Arizona, FOX 10 Phoenix coverage].
- By early 2024, reporting indicated the nursing program had concluded teach-out activities and that Aspen’s program in Phoenix was winding down, with official closure anticipated, while other nationwide programs continued under different terms [ABC15 2024 update; local coverage].
What would help me give you the latest, most precise update:
- Do you want a quick current-status snapshot (Is the Elwood Campus still operating, and is the nursing program active there?)?
- Are you interested in regulatory status (recent actions by the Arizona Board of Nursing) and student outcomes (current teach-out status, if applicable)?
- Would you like me to search for the most recent articles or official board announcements and provide direct links?
If you’d like, I can perform a focused, up-to-date search and summarize the latest verifiable statements from Aspen University, the Arizona Board of Nursing, and local news outlets, with citations.
