The School of Nursing

The School of Nursing is proud to be the home of some of the fastest growing programs in the College of Health Sciences and Professions. We offer innovative and accessible programs including online RN to BSN , online MSN, online DNP, and BSN to DNP Nurse Anesthesia degrees as well as traditional on-campus BSN programs on the Ohio University campuses of Athens, Chillicothe, Eastern, Lancaster, Southern, and Zanesville.

OHIO’s School of Nursing is highly regarded and has been selected by Niche as the best nursing school in Ohio, while our BSN has been named a best nursing BSN program in the country.

We appreciate health care workers! As a gesture of our gratitude, we are offering an application fee waiver for the online RN to BSN program. Learn more about how to access the codes on our fee waiver information page.
