"U.S. News & World Report" ranks undergraduate nursing programs for the first time.
In the newly released 2022 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges,” the University of Maryland School of Nursing’s (UMSON) Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program ranked No. 10 in the nation, out of 694 accredited nursing schools surveyed. Among public schools of nursing, UMSON ranked No. 4 in the nation. UMSON’s BSN program is the top-ranked such program in Maryland.
UMSON’s BSN program encompasses an entry-into-nursing program in addition to an RN-to-BSN program for already licensed practicing nurses. The program prepares students to excel in nursing careers across a broad spectrum of acute, chronic, and community-based settings. National data indicates that employers increasingly prefer and, in some cases, require, a baccalaureate degree.
