Accredited Nursing Schools in Arizona

Registered nurses are not required to have a bachelor's or master's degree, but many nurses choose to complete a degree in order to increase their skill level. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, research has shown that nurses with higher education are less likely to commit medical errors. Choosing an accredited nursing degree program ensures that the curriculum will meet standards of quality. Arizona has several schools with nursing programs accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

University of Arizona also offers two doctorate-level nursing programs, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Doctor of Philosophy in nursing. Both graduate degrees are offered online.
