Our 100% online programs, taught in the Jesuit Catholic tradition, focus on applicable skill sets — all at an affordable cost.
In addition, Xavier University participates in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) as an approved Ohio NC-SARA institution. Through this participation, Xavier is authorized to offer distance education programs to students located in all states (except California which is not currently a member in SARA). As an accredited, non-profit postsecondary educational institution, Xavier is exempt from California regulations related to the licensing of online postsecondary education offered to California residents. Therefore XU distance education programs can be offered in this state. Residents of countries other than the United States should consult the Information for International Applicants to Online Programs page.
Due to state regulations regarding the delivery of distance education, as well as requirements of each individual state board of nursing, Xavier is not currently able to accept applications from all states into all of its online programs.

Xavier University strives to provide the highest quality educational experience for all of its students. However, if a conflict does arise, students are encouraged to reach out to the appropriate personnel to discuss concerns, grievances and complaints. Issues related to academic courses should be raised first with the instructor, then the instructor’s department chair and finally the instructor’s dean, if necessary. Issues related to sex discrimination should be filed with the Title IX Office.
If an issue cannot be resolved by Xavier University’s internal processes, students in online courses in SARA states may choose to file a complaint with the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
