Galen recognizes the importance of the role that nurses play in our society.  We have carefully planned so that we can continue to educate future nurses, while maintaining necessary safety precautions. 

Classes are currently transitioning to a combination of on-campus and remote learning for the April 2021 term. Key tests and labs will be in person following CDC safety protocols, while theory will remain remote. This is a constantly evolving situation and subject to change.

Using a virtual format is different from an online course because you will be interacting with your peers and faculty in real-time. Galen will continue to offer traditional online courses as well if you are registered for those, which are described in the Student Catalog.
