COVID-19 Updates: Miami's response to the coronavirus pandemic and CDC's coronavirus health and safety guidelines.
Located on Miami University's Hamilton and Oxford campuses, our nursing department offers in-person undergraduate and online graduate programs. Fully accredited with a superb record of clinical placements, our nursing programs offer invaluable experience in obstetrics, mental health, pediatrics, rehabilitation, and community outreach. Our mission is to develop nursing professionals who easily navigate today's complex healthcare systems while improving outcomes for patients.
Our BSN program at Miami balances a classic liberal arts education with professional nursing courses and provides a pathway for nursing leadership roles and entry into the master's program. Our BSN program is offered at both the Oxford and Hamilton campuses. You'll explore health promotion, prevention, restoration, and maintenance for individuals and communities. Clinical study adds a hands-on, real-life experience to round out classroom and laboratory work.
Brand new to Miami University, our MSN delivers coursework in an online format that's both affordable and accommodating to students' busy schedules. Pursue one of two academic tracks designed to prepare you for the next step in your career: Family Nurse Practitioner, and Nurse Executive Leadership. Classes, clinical work, and a mid-program on-campus immersion give you the rigorous training you need to earn your master's degree in less than two years. A bachelor's degree in nursing is required for admission.
Launching in fall 2024, Miami's first doctoral nursing program prepares candidates for future careers in organizational/systems leadership roles. Designed to segue seamlessly from our MSN, the DNP requires traditional classwork—all conducted via an online format—as well as practicum courses. The practicum serves as a comprehensive, systematic assessment of complex organizational environments with a focus on quality improvement and quality outcomes, and coincides with specialty electives and additional clinical work.
