Pride Bite: NSU College of Nursing’s R.N. to B.S.N. Program Ranked Among Top 50 in Nation
The R.N. to B.S.N. Program at Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) College of Nursing was recently ranked in the Top 50 Most Affordable Competitive Colleges for Online RN-BSN Degrees by the Best Master of Science in Nursing website.
In developing the list, Best Master of Science in Nursing, which provides information for prospective students considering obtaining a Master of Science in Nursing, used three criteria, including:
- Accreditation – All schools are accredited by either the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (CCNE) and are state-board approved.
- Affordability – The most recent tuition rates, not including program fees, listed on the school website or by National Center for Education Statistics Navigator were reported.
- Maximum Percent of Applicants Admitted – No more than 60 percent of applicants are admitted.
“NSU is proud to be ranked among the best R.N. to B.S.N. nursing programs in the nation,” said Marcella M. Rutherford, Ph.D., M.B.A., M.S.N., dean, NSU’s College of Nursing. “Through this degree program, we offer busy, working nurses an opportunity to advance their careers with the support of small class sizes and experienced faculty members in as little as four semesters.”
In addition to the Best Master of Science in Nursing ranking (No. 49), NSU’s Online Master of Science in Nursing Program is ranked among the Best Online Graduate Nursing Programs by U.S. News & World Report (No. 77) and in the Top 50 Best Value Online M.S.N. Programs of 2015 (No. 44) by Value Colleges.
