Post acquires American Sentinel

American Sentinel Joins With Post University®

​

In March of 2021, American Sentinel University officially merged with Post University to become American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Post University.

All American Sentinel College programs, faculty, administrators, and staff will become part of Post University.

The merger received regulatory approval from two nursing accreditation boards — Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the Accreditation Commission for Education Nursing (ACEN), as well as the Connecticut Office of Higher Education (OHE) and the New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE).

Okay, I know I'm always harping on people for complaining about university names, but "American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Post University" is just ridiculous.

"Where are you going to school?"
"I go to ASCNHSPU."
"Gesundheit"

 

The good thing is outside of some very prestigious exceptions (Wharton being the stereotypical example) no one ever calls a college within a university by its long name.

And Post University sounds better than American Sentinel. Which sounded like a school for anti-government whackjobs.

 

On another board they were discussing this and the consensus was to just write it as Post University, and then maybe add the name of the college on a second line. I've found that unless the name of the college one attended within a University system is well-known and prestigious (like Wharton, Sloan, Stern, Fuqua, etc.), people normally just put down the name of the main school.

 

Heh, you beat me to a similar thought at the same time.

 

I misunderstood that this was a constituent college (like the business school you mentioned) as opposed to the situation where one university owns another (like University of Arizona owning Ashford or American Public University and American Military University being separate [sort of] schools under the APUS banner.)

 

I am living in a non-English culture and I cannot get the point of the name, Post University. Postgraduate...postdoc...I don't know, let me post a post on DI.

 

• In 1897, Harry C. Post acquired the school and renamed the school Waterbury Business College where he became the college's first principal. The school again changed its name in 1931 to Post College where it would keep its namesake until 1990.

• In the 1990s, the school became affiliated with Teikyo University and changed its name to Teikyo Post University. The school had an influx of international students and new online programs.

• In 2004, the school changed to a new board of trustees and became Post University.

 

Why do people POST A POST UNIVERSITY in here? If so, please POST A POSTER OF POST UNIVERSITY.

 

Thank you so much!
