Majors, minors & graduate programs
Merit College of Nursing Sciences offers the variety of programming you might find at a large university, but with the personalized learning experience of a small, liberal nursing college. We offer more than 36 majors, minors, graduate programs and advanced certificates, as well as degrees that can be earned fully online or combined with a traditional classroom experience.
Degree Level
Our multidimensional academic programs free students from conventional boundaries, allowing them to learn deeply from many perspectives. They can explore courses across our colleges and disciplines and become immersed in multiple areas of learning related to their areas of interest. The benefits of this academic freedom are enormous.
