Graduate Programs in Nursing:
Our online Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) offers both a practicum and Nurse Practitioner (NP) option. Nurse Practitioner students also participate in some in-person learning. Graduates are prepared to contribute as clinical leaders, nurse practitioners and health care innovators.
We also offer a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing, preparing nurse educators, researchers and scholars to advance nursing knowledge and practice.
We’re proud of the programs we offer, the students we teach and the nurses and nurse leaders we help prepare. We’d love for you to be part of our story.
