Viterbo University is a private, four-year Catholic Franciscan university in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Its nursing offerings include traditional BSN, accelerated, RN-to-BSN, and graduate study, with delivery that may be campus-based, online, or hybrid depending on the track. The school emphasizes professional preparation rooted in service, with students building skills in assessment, evidence-based practice, communication, leadership, patient education, and ethical, patient-centered care.
Prelicensure nursing students complete clinical learning in area healthcare settings along with simulation-based coursework, and the baccalaureate pathway prepares graduates for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. Viterbo’s nursing programs are known for smaller cohorts, close faculty attention, and a mission-driven atmosphere that reflects the university’s Franciscan values. Compared with larger nearby programs, it offers a more personal learning environment while still giving students access to strong clinical experiences and multiple nursing career paths.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
