By state
Each state page lists its schools alphabetically with degree levels, accreditation records and verified program details.
Online & hybrid
Online nursing programs still require clinical hours, and many limit which states' residents can enroll. Our program pages show the clinical placement arrangements, campus visits and eligible states the school publishes.
Recently verified
Program details checked on each school's own website, every fact with a source. Shown by most recent verification — not a ranking.

How this directory works
Schools and the nursing award levels they confer come from IPEDS, the U.S. Department of Education's postsecondary data system (2023–24 completions). Institution-wide figures are always labelled as such.
Nursing program accreditation is read from the CCNE and ACEN directories, with the degree levels and dates they list. Candidacy is never shown as accreditation.
Program profiles are built from the school's own pages. Every fact carries its source and verification date; anything we could not verify is shown as “Not verified”.
Listings are editorial selections ordered alphabetically, not rankings, and sponsorship never changes them. Read the methodology.
Listing is free and factual. Submit programs or corrections, claim your profile, or ask about clearly labelled sponsorship.
