GRADUATE NURSING PROGRAM
The Master's of Science in Nursing program is also available via E-Learning. The E-Learning format uses a variety of delivery methods (print, email, DVD, streaming audio recordings, web-based courses) to distribute high quality graduate nursing courses. Even traditional on-campus students may be eligible to take up to nine credits of non-nursing courses via the E-Learning mode upon approval of the MSN program director.
Check out the E-Learning website and the information below further details about this unique and flexible option. Contact the E-Learning Office directly at 262.243.4442.
