School of Nursing Named No. 10 Most Affordable Online Colleges for Nurse Practitioner Degree

May 22, 2017

The Georgia Southern University School of Nursing has been ranked No.10 as one of the most affordable online colleges for a nurse practitioner (NP) degree in 2017 by OnlineU.

“Our graduate degree and post-master’s certificate programs are 95 percent online and allow for the flexibility that working nurses need to advance their education,” said program coordinator Ursula Pritham, Ph.D., WHNP-BC, FNP-BC.

Focus for the review was placed on schools that provide students seeking a variety of healthcare degrees with economical options to obtain higher education. The School of Nursing currently offers certificate- and doctoral-level nurse practitioner programs.

School rankings were based on the level of degree requirements, available degrees, tuition rates, whether programs were offered online, and program coursework.

“We work one-on-one with students to create full-time or part-time personal programs of study that are affordable,” said Pritham.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
