The Georgetown University Experience
Delivered Online

Georgetown University School of Nursing is committed to offering driven, compassionate nurses the high-quality education they need to become leaders in health care settings.

To honor this commitment to excellence and innovation in the field, Georgetown University has been delivering graduate nursing programs online since 2011. Our classes and coursework are delivered through a sophisticated platform designed with the needs of online learners in mind, backed by research in curriculum and pedagogy.

By combining intuitive virtual learning with extensive in-person preparation, our academically rigorous, values-based nursing programs empower you to practice with purpose.

Engage in Open Dialogue in Live Classes
