Georgia Southern University’s online bachelor’s degree in nursing was recently ranked no. 3 in a listicle detailing the nation’s 30 best online Bachelor of Nursing degree programs.

Best Degree Programs, who authored the article, reviewed more than 70 accredited colleges and universities in the United States for the listicle.

From there they chose schools that have one or more national or regional rankings in prominent publications and based their list on affordability.

“Georgia Southern University offers some of the most affordable online RN to BSN programs on our list,” the article reads.

Sheri Carey, assistant professor at GS and director of the RN-BSN program, said in a recent statement that the nursing school faculty’s hard work is why the online nursing degree has received such a distinction.

She also commended the School of Nursing’s reverence and its impact on students across the state.
