Overview

The 48-credit Nursing curriculum from University of Massachusetts Boston is tailored to meet the needs of working nurses. Courses are offered both in the classroom and online, and students can enroll full-time (graduating in two years) or part-time (graduating in three to four years).

The college’s strong commitment to integrated learning approaches has resulted in strong partnerships with some of the best health care organizations in the nation, including Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,
