Graduate Programs

Preparing exceptional nurses who advance healthcare through clinical excellence, research and community partnership.

All graduate nursing programs offered by Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences Ellmer School of Nursing at Old Dominion University, with the exception of Nurse Anesthesia, are delivered in a hybrid format for distance learning students.

Students complete didactic content online and clinical requirements in their own geographic area. For some programs, students attend on-campus immersion days for intensive workshops and the opportunity to engage face-to-face with faculty, peers and health care leaders. Students may specialize in a variety of roles.

Our programs emphasize expertise in research and advanced nursing practice.

Through academic courses and clinical experiences, graduate students are prepared to meet the future's healthcare demand for nurses in advanced practice, leadership and education.

We hope that you will find our programs to be enlightening, inspiring and rewarding. If you have any questions, please contact the Graduate Program Director for your area of interest. We offer you our best wishes and support as you begin your journey through your graduate studies.
