- •I was unable to locate detailed information regarding scheduling and format flexibility (online vs. hybrid vs. on-campus), cohort starts, asynchronous vs. synchronous delivery, or transfer/advanced-standing policies directly on the main UNC School of Nursing site (nursing.unc.edu). The homepage primarily presents general program information without these specific details.

- •online, hybrid, or on‑campus delivery modalities,
- •evening, weekend, or multiple cohort start options,
