Charleston Southern is now offering two addition online programs to give nursing students more options to earn a masters degree.

The university announced it will be offering an online master of science in nursing program for students who previously earned a bachelor's degree as well as another online program for registered nurses with an associate's degree who want to pursue a master's degree.

The online courses give registered nurses, who can work up to 12-hour shifts, the opportunity to expand their education in their precious spare time.
