Online bachelor's #11 illustrative bannerThere’s a reason Ohio State’s online bachelor’s programs were ranked #11 in the country by U.S. News & World Report. Actually, there are a number of reasons, including the quality of the coursework, the personalized attention made possible by low student-to-instructor ratios, the integration of evidence-based practice throughout our curriculum, our commitment to your personal wellness and, of course, the flexibility to earn a degree as a full-time or part-time student.

In addition, we've made the RN to BSN degree program both accessible and affordable by using open and university provided resources in all nursing courses.
