In 1858, the Benedictine Sisters of the Annunciation brought their ministry to the Dakota Territory. To promote their missions of healing and learning, they founded hospitals, schools, and in 1959, they founded University of Mary. Education and nursing programs were initially offered, and since then U-Mary has expanded to include a full range of academic degrees, including online degrees and programs.

Online MSNs are available through the University of Mary. The online revolution has not changed the principles at the core of this private Catholic institution's nursing programs. The Benedictine sisters value kindness and U-Mary's faith-based online programs strive to prepare you to be a proficient and caring nursing professional.
