According to the article, students looking for an affordable, accessible and strong academic nursing program can be comfortable at the award-winning UCM program.

Top RN to BSN, on a mission to supply nursing students with the necessary information to excel in their academic pursuits, lists the university in the top 10 most affordable online RN to BSN programs, making UCM the highest-ranking school in the state. The methodology for this ranking included comparing accredited programs across the United States by their cost, reputation and course offerings.

While UCM offers financial aid to 94% of its student body and is an affordable option, the quality of university programs are also worth celebrating. The Online RN to BSN program offers nursing students a flexible, digital learning environment flourishing with career opportunities.
