Out-of-State students pursuing distance learning degrees at USI

We appreciate your interest in distance education programs offered by the University of Southern Indiana. Currently, USI's Kinney College of Nursing and Health Professions only offers its distance learning enrollment opportunities to residents of states where USI has obtained or is seeking authorization for its distance education offerings.

Each state has its own approval process for out-of-state institutions offering distance learning (online) degree programs to its residents.

The MSN and Post MSN online programs are limited to working with certain states in the U.S. only. Moving into a state not recognized by the graduate nursing program will lead to inability to continue in MSN coursework. The exception to this is active military status.
