What is NEXus?

NEXus is a consortium of institutions that offer online doctoral programs in Nursing that provide opportunities for and encourage students to take courses from other member institutions to further enrich their educational experiences.

How to Enroll

Start here! Students work with Campus Staff Coordinators to register and enroll for online course offerings. Each institution provides step-by-step instructions from submitting the application to course completion.

Students

Students work with faculty advisors to identify the course/s that best fits their needs. Take courses from expert faculty from across the country, expand your network, and collaborate with colleagues.

Course Catalog

Member institutions offer over 250 graduate online nursing courses annually through the NEXus course exchange.  Courses are organized into a variety of topic categories (clusters) ranging from advanced nursing practice to special topics in nursing.  The catalog of nursing classes may be viewed by dates, category, course level, institution and key word(s). Course details and descriptions are found under individual course codes.
