In the\u00a02024 Best Online Programs rankings from U.S. News & World Report, the UNMC College of Nursing\u2019s online master\u2019s 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\u00a0released Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNMC College of Nursing has shown steady increases in its ranking, said Lepaine Sharp-McHenry, DNP, dean of the UNMC College of Nursing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe expect our ranking to continue to climb as we continually assess our online master\u2019s programs to ensure quality and relevance to the needs of our state and beyond,\u201d Dr. Sharp-McHenry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five categories were used to rank the programs: Engagement, faculty credentials and training, services and technology, student excellence and opinions of experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNMC College of Nursing offers a variety of master\u2019s and Doctor\u00a0of Nursing Practice degree specialties that use online and other teaching formats. The programs prepare nurse practitioners in specialty tracks for women\u2019s health, adult gerontology, pediatric, acute care, family health, psychiatric mental health\u00a0and executives in nursing administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
