Take your nursing career to the next level in one of our APRN programs

By pursuing a specialized master’s degree in Nursing, you’ll sharpen your existing knowledge of the field while developing new insights into the healthcare system and your role within it. Your real-world experience will guide you as you explore patient care through a new lens. You worked hard to earn your bachelor’s degree — now it’s time to build on those skills.

“As a busy parent of three children, Goodwin allowed me to pursue my master’s degree while also working full-time. The online format is easy to use, and the faculty are compassionate and helpful.”

Invest in your future

Choose your APRN Program:

Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) play an integral role in providing patients with safe, effective, and individualized care. As an FNP, you’ll meet the diverse healthcare needs of your community by combining your advanced nursing skills with your passion for helping others. You’ll study the factors that impact patient care plans and develop the skills to treat individuals of all ages and demographics — including pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients. FNPs are often the first line of defense in day-to-day health maintenance, as they often find rewarding careers in settings such as community health centers and primary care medical offices.

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), you’ll implement strategies to improve the wellbeing of your community and educate the public on the importance of comprehensive mental health care. You’ll learn to promote healthy lifestyle choices and teach your patients how to positively manage stress, all while diagnosing patients, developing individualized treatment plans, and prescribing medications to improve your patients’ quality of life. In a society that often underestimates the significance of proper mental health care, you will become an advocate for individuals who need support.

A flexible master's degree that works for you

You deserve a college that offers graduate-level classes on your schedule. That's why we've designed our APRN programs to be completed entirely online, aside from Orientation, Immersion Weekends I and II, and clinical practices. Coursework is available on your time, and these programs can be completed in as few as 27 months — so you don't have to waste your time or money.

Our APRN programs offer a mix of on-campus clinical practices and online classes. Online courses include a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, so your learning experience can be customized to fit your needs.

“I chose Goodwin for my ADN and my BSN degrees, so when the FNP program began, I jumped at the opportunity. The class and clinical schedules are flexible and doable even for me, a single working parent of four.”
