Nursing courses are taught by qualified MCO faculty who are experts in clinical practice and research and who are excellant teachers and leaders in their profession. Originally, courses were taught only at MCO, but have evolved to other sites. Some courses in the BSN and MSN programs are offered online via computers. MCO is a freestanding professional school that offers graduate degrees in the health professions. Graduate nursing students enroll at MCO and graduate from MCO with a Master of Science degree in Nursing.
Graduates are prepared to function in a variety of positions that require advanced nursing practice.
The graduate program serves as a foundation for doctoral education in nursing. Both baccalaurate and master's programs of the School of Nursing are approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing. In 1999, the School earned national accreditation for the maximum ten-year period by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
