Online Doctoral Programs in Nursing & Healthcare at Universities in North Carolina

Online degrees mapped to nursing & healthcare from the program's official description. A program appears here only when its own page supports the subject.

Listings in North Carolina identify where the institution (or its administering campus) is located. They do not mean you must live there, and an online degree based in North Carolina is not automatically open to every North Carolina resident or to international applicants — check each program's state authorization and licensure notes.
