Overview
Anderson University (South Carolina)’s Nursing - Executive Leadership program is unique because we view leadership and nursing from a Christian worldview. We understand that our colleagues, our patients, and we ourselves are image-bearers of God. This means that we lead with compassion and integrity. Our professors are practicing nurses themselves, who see leadership as more than a skillset, and nursing as more than just a job. It’s a calling and an honor.
Enroll with a Master’s Degree
Once you begin the program, you can complete your degree in nine semesters (6-10 credits per semester), equivalent to three years. If you enter the program with a Master of Science in Nursing, you can complete the program in as few as five semesters.
Coursework

You will still meet with your cohort and professors in person once per semester for intensive work days, including simulation labs and seminars if you are in the BSN to DNP cohort.
