The John and Karen Arnold School of Nursing at Â鶹ÊÓƵ ranks among the top nursing schools in Pennsylvania and is dedicated to educating compassionate, skilled nurses. Offering programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, Alvernia nursing students gain the academic foundation, hands-on training, and professional support they need for impactful careers.
Whether you’re coming from a four-year institution or a community college, or have military schooling or previous life experience, Alvernia is committed to providing you with personal attention and flexible class schedules that make it easy for you to join Alvernia's community. We consider each student's academic record individually, so most students' previous coursework counts toward an Alvernia degree, which typically means you continue on your educational journey without repeating a step.
At Â鶹ÊÓƵ, MSOT students don’t just study occupational therapy — they experience it firsthand. Alvernia provides the education, training, and support to help you achieve your goals.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program empowers professional nurses to rise as educators and leaders grounded in compassion, integrity and skill. Building on the nationally ranked BSN program — recognized by U.S. News & World Report and boasting two consecutive years of 100% NCLEX pass rates — Alvernia’s MSN students learn from the same accomplished faculty who have mastered the fundamentals of nursing education and leadership.
When you study under faculty who have consistently guided BSN students to national success, you don’t just earn a graduate degree — you learn how to elevate others. Grow into the kind of leader and educator the next generation of nurses deserves.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ cultivates a supportive, inclusive community that emphasizes academic excellence, lifelong learning, professional development, responsible citizenship and a deep commitment to caring for one another.
