Herzing University

We design our programs to be appropriately challenging given the nature of the field. Finance can be a competitive, quickly evolving profession demanding dedication to lifelong learning. 

As with any new skill, learning finance takes study, practice, and hard work. Your discipline and dedication can translate to a rewarding, lucrative career. We offer a host of student services for online students to help you succeed in your studies and prepare to excel in your career after graduation.

No, we are not a for-profit university. Herzing University is a nonprofit educational institution as of 2015.

There are general education courses in math you may need to complete depending on your prior education.

However, mathematics is not a significant part of a career in cybersecurity, and our core cybersecurity curriculum does not include any math courses.

General roles and responsibilities of a holistic nurse may include:

• Creating person-centered care plans that reflect the individual’s values, preferences, and overall well-being, rather than focusing only on the disease process
• Building therapeutic relationships so patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care
• Supporting healing environments that promote comfort, trust, safety, and a stronger sense of connection in care
• Incorporating mind-body-spirit perspectives into care, with attention to how mental, emotional, and spiritual factors may influence health outcomes
• Conducting whole-person assessments that may include physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and energy dimensions
• Practicing with cultural humility and recognizing how identity, background, beliefs, and lived experience shape each patient’s healthcare needs
• Providing trauma-responsive, relationship-centered care that takes into account how past experiences may affect trust, communication, and healing
• Educating patients on ways to support health and wellness, including self-care, stress management, nutrition, and other appropriate lifestyle strategies
• Applying knowledge of nutrition and plant-based medicine concepts to support health, vitality, and prevention-focused care where appropriate
• Using advanced communication and coaching-style skills to support reflection, behavior change, and goal-setting in practice, education, or leadership settings
• Collaborating with other professionals to support safe, inclusive, and equitable care for diverse individuals, families, and communities
• Demonstrating professional presence, self-reflection, accountability, and self-care as part of a sustainable nursing practice

In short, a holistic nurse does many of the same core things any nurse does, but with a wider lens. They combine clinical nursing care with whole-person support, helping patients heal in ways that are more individualized, relational, and responsive to whole-person health.

The best way to complete the program faster is to transfer all approved credit from prior college coursework. Our admissions team can help you determine how much credit you are approved to transfer. Be prepared to share all relevant documentation; you may be surprised which credits are transferable—so be sure to include everything.

Yes, the didactic coursework in the Finance program can be completed 100% online through Herzing's virtual learning environment. 

If students choose the internship option in place of a capstone project, internship requirements may vary by state and site, so students should confirm eligibility with the university.
 

Availability of evening or night classes varies by program and class type. General education courses can typically be completed online on your schedule. In some cases, certain classwork or exams may require a set log-in time.

We work hard to fully prepare you for success in your work and provide as much flexibility as possible to achieve the right school-life balance. Our admissions team can help you determine how much coursework you can potentially complete in nights and evenings.

No, you don’t need a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) to begin working towards a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Current licensed registered nurses who hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing may apply for our BSN to DNP program in a specialization of their choosing and begin working toward a DNP right away – without having to earn an MSN first.

There are a few considerations to keep in mind:

1. If your primary goal is to pursue a specialization such as Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), earning a DNP is not currently required. You can choose an MSN-FNP program and earn the master’s degree education you need to become an FNP.
2. It takes more time to complete a BSN to DNP curriculum compared to an MSN alternative. In the case of FNP, the MSN-FNP program takes 20 months compared to 32 months in the BSN to DNP-FNP program.¹
3. If your primary goal is to earn the terminal degree in nursing and reach the top of the field, a BSN to DNP program offers less time and lower cost than earning an MSN and DNP separately. Once again using the case of FNP, a BSN to DNP-FNP program takes less time (32 months) than earning an MSN-FNP and DNP separately (20 months each = 40 total months).

Contact our admissions team and we can help you determine what degree pathway is right for your lifestyle and overall career goals.

1. All program length estimates reflect average time to complete for full-time students and may vary. We strive to help you learn at a pace that’s right for you.
