"We finished fiscal 2021 fourth quarter on a high note with 35% revenue growth.

The principal revenue drivers for fiscal 2022 will be the continued growth of USU鈥檚 MSN-FNP program, the launch of double cohorts at our main Phoenix campus, combined with the new campuses in Tampa, Austin and Nashville,鈥� concluded Mathews.
