Someone sees your potential to be a Saint
The world needs more Saints — starting with you
Thinking about further study, a new career, or advancing where you are? Someone you know and trust already believes you have what it takes to be a Maryville Saint. We do too. Saints are brave, and one brave decision can change your life. Check out how our online nursing programs can help you make it happen. Let’s be brave together.
- Learn from actively practicing nurse practitioners. Our faculty are active clinicians, bringing today's healthcare challenges and real-world experience into every course.
- Get help securing clinical placements. With a nationwide network of more than 3,600 clinical partners and preceptors, plus dedicated placement support, you're never navigating clinicals alone.
- Graduate with confidence. Maryville graduates consistently earn board certification pass rates above the national average, proof that we're committed to preparing competent, practice-ready providers.
Why learn together?
Returning to advance your education is a big decision, but you don’t have to do it alone. Joining Maryville with a friend, family member, or colleague means you can:
- Learn from faculty who are active practitioners.
- Get preceptor assistance.
- Graduate with confidence with our above-national average pass rates.
Having someone alongside you can help you get more out of your educational experience. That was the case for Saints grads Sarah Trigg and Lydia Davis, who built a friendship from several states away and connected at our 2025 commencement celebration.
