SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV — Shepherd University is offering three fully online programs beginning in fall 2021—the Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts in curriculum and instruction, and the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Dr. Jason Best, assistant provost for distance education and strategic research initiatives, said establishing these distance education programs will allow Shepherd to better serve adult learners, working adults, and graduate students.
“We are excited to be able to provide expanded access to those who might not otherwise be able to pursue a university education,” Best said. “These three high-impact programs in business, education, and nursing are amenable to online delivery, and will serve working professionals in areas of significant national need. It is also a wonderful opportunity for Shepherd to expand its regional, national, and global educational impact.”
