WARRENSBURG, MO – On National Nurses Day, the 91µ¼º½ (UCM)
announces its recognition as the #1 Most Affordable Online MSN Nurse Practitioner
Program for the year 2024, as ranked by Fortune Magazine.
This distinguished ranking highlights UCM’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality
educational opportunities in the healthcare sector. In an era where the demand for
nurse practitioners is soaring—with the Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting a 46%
growth in the profession from 2021 to 2031—the 91µ¼º½ stands
out as a leader in offering a cost-effective pathway to this rewarding career.

A nurse practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice registered nurse who assesses patient
needs, orders and interprets diagnostic tests, diagnoses diseases, prescribes medications
and formulates treatment plans.
Fortune Magazine’s evaluation considered the tuition costs of numerous institutions
offering online Master’s in Nursing programs with a focus on the nurse practitioner
specialization. The affordability of the 91µ¼º½'s program
is particularly significant, considering the financial challenges often associated
with advanced nursing education.
The nursing program at the 91µ¼º½ is fully approved by the
Missouri State Board of Nursing and holds accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education (CCNE).
