For nurses wanting to continue their education, an online master’s program might be the best option. Although these programs have become as rigorous as their on-campus counterparts, they offer flexibility, affordability, access to innovative technologies, students from a diversity of career backgrounds and global opportunities, according to the Princeton Review.

The Princeton Review recently announced its list of the best online nursing school master’s programs, and Georgia has five on the list. The list is alphabetical, so there isn’t a numerical ranking.
