In the 2024 Best Online Programs rankings from U.S. News & World Report, the UNMC College of Nursing’s online master’s in nursing program ranked 70th out of 186 ranked schools. This places it in the top half of the rankings, which U.S. News & World Report released Wednesday.
The UNMC College of Nursing has shown steady increases in its ranking, said Lepaine Sharp-McHenry, DNP, dean of the UNMC College of Nursing.
“We expect our ranking to continue to climb as we continually assess our online master’s programs to ensure quality and relevance to the needs of our state and beyond,” Dr. Sharp-McHenry said.
Five categories were used to rank the programs: Engagement, faculty credentials and training, services and technology, student excellence and opinions of experts.
The UNMC College of Nursing offers a variety of master’s and Doctor of Nursing Practice degree specialties that use online and other teaching formats. The programs prepare nurse practitioners in specialty tracks for women’s health, adult gerontology, pediatric, acute care, family health, psychiatric mental health and executives in nursing administration.
Great work!
