College of Nursing

Grand Canyon University offers a variety of Nursing Programs

Grand Canyon University offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate nursing programs, both at our traditional campus and online. The field of nursing is projected to experience a rapid rate of growth over the next decade due to the aging of the baby boomer generation, as well as technological advances in patient care.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of registered nurses employed from 2008 to 2018 is expected to grow by 22%. This means there will be approximately 582,000 new jobs open in the nursing field during this time span, which doesn't include replacing experienced nurses who retire from their current positions.

Because of the extreme growth in this field, it is an excellent time to pursue nursing programs.  Choosing a growing and in-demand career field is important; not only because it leads to greater job stability, but because it increases your chances for receiving pay increases. Plus, GCU has nationally accredited nursing programs that teach you about more than just how to become a nurse.

Nationally Accredited Nursing Programs.

Grand Canyon University sets the standard in nursing programs and ensuring that your degree is valuable and recognized, with the following accreditations:

  • GCU, through its College of Nursing, is nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and is approved by the Arizona State Board of Nursing (www.aacn.nche.edu/accreditation).
