The School of Nursing is proud is see two nursing graduate programs ranked in the top 100 programs in the latest rankings from U.S. News and World Report.

The Master of Nursing program is ranked at No. 82 out of almost 600 universities ranked, and the Doctor of Nursing Practice program ranked at No. 85 out of 389 universities. These rankings look at hundreds of universities, but when you break it down to just within the state of Wisconsin, our Master of Nursing program is the top program at a public university in Wisconsin, and our Doctor of Nursing Practice program is ranked second 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.
