FAQs
  • Can I work while completing this program?

    Yes. The vast majority of our students work throughout their time in their academic program. It is important to assess course load and financial aid to understand how to balance school and working.

    If possible, students may cut down on their work hours during a clinical portion of a program.

  • Nursing – Are there any onsite visits required for your programs?

    Most of our programs do not require onsite visits, but there are a couple of exceptions.

    If you are interested in pursuing the Master of Science in Nursing-Nurse Midwifery, you will have two skills intensives that take place on campus. The Post-Master’s Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program has one onsite visit that occurs during the first semester.

  • Is Federal Financial Aid (Title IV) available?

    Yes. Many of our students qualify for some type of financial aid.
