Illinois College Online began offering a master’s of science in nursing degree in May. The fully online program offers concentrations in Leadership/Administration and Education. The program prepares future nurse leaders and educators through a flexible, student-centered online learning environment.

“The new online MSN program is an important addition to our curriculum,” said Catharine O’Connell, provost and dean of the College. “It will meet a pressing community need with the educational quality Illinois College is known for and a flexible delivery mode. The program will prepare MSN degree-seeking nurses for multiple leadership roles in their communities.”

The master’s program is flexible and designed for working nurses looking to expand their impact in healthcare. The coursework is particularly suited for nurses wishing to advance to leadership positions and to ensure excellence in teaching and learning for the next generation of nursing students.
