Why earn a nursing or health degree online?
Health care needs skilled people in patient care, research, administration and community health. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of medical and health services managers to grow 24% from 2025 to 2035, much faster than the 3% average for all occupations. An online health and nursing degree from Arizona State University can prepare you to enter this high-demand field and make a difference in the lives of patients or across the industry. Advance your health care career with an online degree in behavioral health, nutrition, public health, compliance, nursing and more. Thinking about medical school?

Find an online health and nursing degree for you
Your path in health care might start at the bedside, in a lab or behind the scenes. If you’re already a registered nurse with an associate degree, the online RN to BSN path builds on your license and experience (an active RN license is required). For those planning to attend medical school, the Bachelor of Science in medical studies follows a pre-med curriculum and includes a one-week in-person organic chemistry lab in the summer at ASU's Tempe campus to prepare you to be a competitive applicant.
The Bachelor of Science in health sciences lets you choose from five focus areas, so you can pursue what you’re most passionate about. Fascinated by how the body moves? Consider the Bachelor of Science in kinesiology. Prepare to meet patient needs and improve services through nonclinical roles with a Bachelor of Science in health care administration and policy.
