I entered the MSN in Nursing Education online program in 2016 and graduated in May 2018 The program provides ease of access, sense of belonging and fellowship, engaging professors who have a love for nursing and a dynamic online environment. Everything I expected and more! The program prepared me to lead and excel in my nursing career and to continue my journey towards my Ph.D. in Nursing Education. I am proud to call CU my alma mater!"

I loved the flexibility that the MSN online program gave me It allowed me to be able to work around my own schedule, and clinicals were set at my pace. The professors are available to help during the duration of the courses and are helpful at putting challenges that come up in perspective. I'm glad I chose CU!"
