Students who wish to receive training in Ukrainian or Russian can enroll in the Preparatory Department, which offers a 10-month preparatory program including Ukrainian or Russian language courses.

Distance Learning Programs:

Distance learning is a flexible program that allows students to choose their study times (day or evening shifts). These programs are designed especially for professional nurses with busy schedules.
The BSN program provides a foundation for professional practice and further education, while the MSN program offers nursing qualifications for advanced practice, clinical leadership, or teaching.

Many students from the USA and Canada who have completed this educational program have successfully graduated and received their BSN Degree. The diplomas of graduates are recognized by accreditation agencies that are members of AMCES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) and accepted by hospitals in the USA and Canada.
