Why a degree in Nursing from Missouri Valley?

Missouri Valley College’s liberal arts foundation benefits nursing students by fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning skills that are necessary for clinical practice. Our nursing program is a 2+2 program consisting of two years of core and prerequisite courses as a pre-nursing major, and two years of nursing courses and clinical experiences once accepted into the nursing program. In addition to the 2+2 traditional BSN program, we offer an LPN to BSN face-to-face, an LPN to BSN online track, and a post-licensure RN to BSN online program.

As a nursing student at Missouri Valley, you’ll gain experience in a variety of clinical settings, including local community hospitals, tertiary care centers, and other community health centers and agencies. The MVC nursing program follows standards and guidelines set forth by the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The nursing program has been granted full approval by the Missouri State Board of Nursing. The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Missouri Valley College is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
