NEXus Distance Learning

Students admitted to the University of Utah PhD program usually take all of their core courses and electives at the University of Utah utilizing distance education technology. Through an inter-collegiate partnership, the University of Utah College of Nursing exchanges elective courses with partner colleges of nursing throughout the U.S. who offer other PhD elective courses. The NEXus partnership is available to all PhD students and facilitates registration and transcription of distance courses from partner institutions.
