A Second Major for
The Modern World

At Graceland, we mold professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and performers. For 125 years our students have become leaders in their industries. Starting in 2022, students who graduate with a 4-year degree will take with them at least two majors — one or more within their discipline and one in transformational leadership. With it, you can continue that tradition of leadership as you venture out into the world prepared and ready to change it for the better.

Transformational Leadership Program

Become a Master of Nursing

We’ve educated nursing students for over 50 years — that’s 50 years of experience molding the future of healthcare professionals in our country, 50 years of teaching healthcare in a graduate setting, and 50 years of shaping the way nurses are taught in a University setting. Our class sizes are small and personal, allowing for more one-on-one learning with world-class faculty and professionals. With start dates offered four times a year, students are given the opportunity to start their graduate nursing education whenever they are ready. Explore our programming to see which graduate nursing path is right for you.
