Accredited Nursing Degrees You Can Earn On Your Schedule
GCU's College of Nursing and Health Care Professions is committed to providing a curriculum that challenges and prepares graduates to lead and prosper in the ever-changing health care industry.
Bachelor's in Nursing Programs
RN to BSN
If you are a registered nurse with an associate degree or diploma certificate in nursing, Grand Canyon University’s (GCU) Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) program can prepare you for expanding professional roles in the health care system of tomorrow. Obtaining your BSN degree will position you to broaden your understanding of best practices in nursing, prepare you for graduate study and equip you for leadership positions in which increasing levels of education are expected.
ABSN Program in Arizona
If you have a non-nursing college education, the Grand Canyon University (GCU) Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program can fast-track your nursing career. The 16-month program1 follows a blended learning format that consists of online coursework, hands-on nursing labs and in-person clinical rotations. Enroll for a May (Tucson only), August or January start date at our campus location in Sun City or Tucson – and plan to graduate as a practice-ready nurse who stands out with employers.
Master's in Nursing Programs
All of the graduate nursing degrees develop the core knowledge and skills required for master's-level practice. There are three initial courses that focus on nursing theory, nursing research, ethical practice, health policy and the financing of the health care system. At the end of the program, all students develop an evidence-based project that requires the integration of the knowledge gained from their individual programs.
