Which is the right nursing path for you? The Maryville Online nursing curriculum is designed by expert faculty with a focus on employability so you can pursue the path that best fits your interests and career goals. Our graduates are set up for success in diverse healthcare settings. From hospitals to private practice and home care, Maryville nurses stand out for their competence and compassion no matter which path they choose.  

You’re already a valued RN. Our online Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is your path to an even more influential leadership role. Develop advanced skills to assess patient health, present research, and direct nursing teams with confidence, all while maintaining your work-life balance.

 

“I feel like Maryville is really helping to prepare me for my career path and to become a successful nurse. I’m receiving all the knowledge I need, and I’m also learning how to apply it in a clinical setting.” — Joe B., online RN to BSN student 

Move forward in your nursing career with an online MSN degree. To help you specialize your expertise, our MSN curriculum is structured so that you can choose from five concentrations: psychiatric mental health, family practice, pediatrics, adult gerontology acute care, and adult gerontology primary care. With all our MSN courses being offered online, you can continue working as you learn and complete clinicals locally.

 

“At Maryville University, we are educating the future of nursing. Our faculty strive to ensure students are challenged to rise to the top, think critically, and be leaders in the profession.” - Dr. Mykale Elbe, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC 

From evidence-based practice to healthcare policy management, our online DNP programs prepare you to practice at the highest levels of the nursing profession. Our online DNP courses are structured to help you build valuable in-demand skills so that you can create meaningful change across the healthcare system.

 

“The way that the curriculum is set up at Maryville, each semester built upon the previous one, so we’re learning as we go. It’s not an overwhelming process. A lot of times, that’s much like our careers are in the healthcare field. We all have something new to learn, every single day.” - Tiffany N., graduate, Doctor of Nursing Practice 

The nurse practitioner job outlook is strong. As someone who already works in the evolving nursing field, you can see that new opportunities are emerging. That’s why we offer in-demand post-master's certificate programs, so you can specialize in areas that might be outside of your current nurse leadership role but aligned with your deep passion: psychiatric mental health, family practice, pediatrics, adult gerontology acute care, or adult gerontology primary care.

 

“It’s never going to be a perfect time. I think anybody who has their mind set that they want to do it, just step out and do it. Don’t wait. Just go ahead and do it.” Celena S., graduate, Post-Master's Nurse Practitioner Certificate - Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
