Flexibility puts you in control 

The UW Flexible Option is a national pioneer in competency-based education for adult learners. The self-paced format of UW Flexible Option programs fits around your schedule, helping you balance your responsibilities with your educational goals.

Start any month and take breaks when you need to. Complete an assignment when you are ready, and then move on to the next.

Without traditional semester schedules, group work, class discussions, and scheduled log-on times, you can fulfill our education goals while working and balancing your life.

The knowledge and skills you’ve gained in your nursing career can help you progress through the program faster.

Your ADN transfers in, so you’re already halfway to your bachelor’s degree.

Your tuition rate will not change from when you start the program through graduation, as long as you are actively enrolled. That’s the Flex Tuition Guarantee.

Your capstone project is an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned.

Prepare for opportunities

Nurses can work in a variety of positions—both in and out of direct patient care. Despite this, the nursing profession continues to face challenges due to stress, burnout, and retirement. A recent NCSBN study revealed these challenges will continue with over 600,000 predicted to leave the workforce by 2027. These vacancies open up a variety of opportunities for nurses with their bachelor’s degree to move into new roles.

A collaboration of the Universities of Wisconsin

The Universities of Wisconsin is one of the largest and most widely respected public higher education systems in the country. By partnering with UW campuses to offer online degrees and certificates, students of UW Flexible Option programs receive a quality University of Wisconsin education—no matter where they live and work.

This online nursing degree program at UW-Milwaukee is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The State of Wisconsin Board of Nursing has approved this program as well.
