The latest Bachelor of Science in Nursing rankings reflect the dedication and commitment of program leadership, faculty, and staff.
The University of Maryland School of Nursing’s (UMSON) Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program has moved even farther up among the 10 highest-ranked programs nationally, according to the newly released U.S. News & World Report’s 2027 “Best Colleges” Best Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Programs.
The report ranks UMSON’s BSN program No. 9 in the nation overall (tied with two other institutions), up from 13 last year, out of 671 accredited nursing schools. Among public schools of nursing, UMSON is ranked No. 7 in the nation (tied with two other public nursing schools.)
“It is extremely gratifying to be recognized as one of the top baccalaureate nursing programs in the nation,” said Yolanda Ogbolu, PhD ’11, MS ’05, BSN ’04, NNP, FNAP, FAAN, the Bill and Joanne Conway Dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing. “It is a testament to our program leadership, our faculty, our staff, and all those who contribute to and support our efforts. We are extremely proud of our graduates; they are well equipped to serve as highly skilled and compassionate nurses meeting the needs of individuals, their families, and the many communities we serve, not only in Maryland, but also across the nation and internationally.”
UMSON’s BSN program, which encompasses an entry-into-nursing program and an RN-to-BSN program for already licensed practicing nurses, prepares students to excel in nursing careers across a broad spectrum of acute, chronic, and community-based settings.
