The College of Nursing at Sacred Heart University oversees and administers online nursing degrees for established professionals who wish to advance their career through higher levels of education. Responding to a cultural shift whereby upwards of 80% of all professional nurses will hold a baccalaureate degree by 2020 and the anticipation that all RNs should obtain an undergraduate degree within 10 years of graduation, Sacred Heart offers programs designed to fit the busy schedule and lifestyle of professional nursing staff. Online degrees are available in family practice nursing, RN to BSN, master’s and doctorate degree in nursing disciplines. In addition to nursing, Sacred Heart also offers an advanced degree in psychology with multiple concentrations available. A full network of student resources and support programs is in place to assist the student with every phase of their education.
