The School of Nursing is proud again to see two of our nursing graduate programs ranked in the top 100 programs for 2026 in the latest rankings from U.S. News and World Report.
For 2026, the Master of Nursing program is ranked at No. 69 out of 154 universities ranked, moving up from No. 83 last year. The Doctor of Nursing Practice program ranked at No. 90 out of 159 universities. These rankings look at universities across the country, but when you break it down to just within the state of Wisconsin, our Master of Nursing program is ranked again as the top program at a public university in Wisconsin, and our Doctor of Nursing Practice program is ranked second again for public universities in the state.
The rankings are based on two types of data: expert opinion about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students, and students’ post-graduate outcomes.
