U.S. News & World Report Ranks Three NSU Programs Among the Nation’s Best
The rankings by U.S. News & World Report of college and university online programs are out, and Nova Southeastern University (NSU) is proud to announce that three online programs have been honored. NSU’s Criminal Justice graduate program was ranked 26th out of 41 programs; its Education graduate program was 84th out of approximately 200 (up 11 spots from 2016); and its Nursing graduate program was 47th out of more than 100 ranked programs (up two spots from 2016.)
“These rankings show that NSU continues moving in the right direction, and as part of our Vision 2020, that we’re recognized as a premier, private, not-for-profit university of quality and distinction,” said NSU’s President Dr. George Hanbury. “Online education is at the foundation of NSU – it’s in our DNA – and we’re a leader in this educational delivery method. Reaching students and providing educational opportunities that best suit their needs is something we’re very proud of and something we’re committed to today, tomorrow and well into the future.”
The online graduate programs are ranked based on a variety of criteria, including: student engagement; faculty credentials and training; student services and technology; admissions selectivity; and peer reputation.
