The UC College of Nursing began offering online nurse midwifery and womens health nurse practitioner programs in 2005. Since then, the colleges online offerings have expanded to include an RN to BSN program, a nurse educator certificate program, a psychiatric mental health post-master's certificate, and additional MSN specializations in adult nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist/nurse educator, family nurse practitioner and nursing administration. The college also offers a hybrid neonatal nurse practitioner and doctor of nursing practice program.
