The Bad
- No BSN or MSN Online Degrees
No BSN or MSN Online Degrees
Emory University doesn’t have online programs for its bachelor of science in nursing or its MSN programs. However, students can get a Distance Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) online.
The Bottom Line
There are plenty of reasons to attend Emory University. The fact that students can get an ABSN and DNP degree online is a nice feature. However, students who want to get their BSN or MSN degree will have to attend university full-time. There are plenty of program options for graduate students to select from and students can even receive a dual degree if they choose.
