Welcome to Elmhurst University!

Thank you for your interest in becoming a nurse through one of our distance nursing programs. We are proud that the distance ABSN is the first of its kind in Illinois, and the distance MENP is the first of its kind in the nation. As a student here, you will become part of the rich history of Elmhurst University, which celebrated its 150th anniversary recently.

Our distance ABSN and MENP programs provide rigorous professional preparation and robust clinical skills development. The University’s Department of Nursing and Health Sciences is dedicated to increasing diversity in nursing and prides itself on providing educational opportunities for students of all backgrounds.

You can expect the same academic excellence and student support from these online programs as you would if you attended classes offered at our award-winning campus. All aspects of our academic programming are designed to help you reach your full potential and develop professionally as a nurse.

Our caring faculty are expert teachers and clinicians who are passionate about nursing and go above and beyond to help you succeed.

The need for compassionate and skilled nurses has never been greater. We hope you will join us and become part of the solution to provide quality health care to those in need.

Sincerely,
