For more than 80 years, Wilkes has been dedicated to the success of our students through academic excellence, educational access and return on investment.
What Makes Wilkes University Unique?
Wilkes’ campus is beautiful. The lush green grass, blooming trees and sturdy, brick buildings make it a picturesque university. How does that translate to our online learning experience? The type of students and actual faculty members who congregate in that grass, under those trees and within those lecture halls are the same you’ll be interacting with, and learning from, in every course. It’s the people who make Wilkes what it is: A small university that offers big opportunities, and that’s just as true on its virtual campus.

Big Opportunities
Wilkes University's Passan School of Nursing offers a variety of convenient online programs for working nurses. Whether you're looking to advance your current career or pursue a new specialty, Wilkes has a flexible program for you. Going back to school is a big decision, but Wilkes offers the mentoring and faculty support you need to succeed.
Invest in Yourself
The Princeton Review listed Wilkes among the best northeastern colleges and U.S. News & World Report has ranked Wilkes a top university for 16 consecutive years. The Economist ranked Wilkes University 25th in the nation for economic value by comparing what our graduates earn to what they might have earned if they had studied elsewhere. The Brookings Institution and Money magazine have also recognized the value of a Wilkes education. We know that our commitment to academic success pays off for our students, but it’s great to see others catching on.
