FNP Distance Education

Husson University offers a distance education option that dramatically reduces the amount of travel necessary to complete our M.S.N. degrees. This option is especially attractive to students who live a significant distance from Husson University. The distance education technique consists of interactive video and on-line learning. These courses are open to both matriculated and non-matriculated students.
