The University of Rochester School of Nursing has been ranked No. 22 among U.S. nursing schools for its master’s programs, according to the 2023-24 Best Graduate Schools guide produced by U.S. News and World Report.
The School of Nursing’s master’s programs have ranked in the Top 30 for the past four years and consistently appeared in the Top 40 over the past two decades. Among its regional competitors, the UR School of Nursing is the only New York school outside of New York City to rank in the Top 25 in master’s programs.
“These rankings underscore the School’s continued commitment to nursing excellence,” said Lisa Kitko, PhD, RN, FAHA, FAAN, dean of the School of Nursing and vice president of the University of Rochester Medical Center. “We have a talented team of faculty and staff who continuously seek new and innovative ways to teach and support our nursing students. Our goal is to produce highly-skilled and compassionate leaders, educators, and practitioners who are prepared to play a crucial role in shaping and leading the future of health care to improve patient’s outcomes.”
For more than 50 years, the School of Nursing has been a leading force in the science and practice of nursing at the graduate-level, with one of the oldest and most prominent nurse practitioner programs in the country. Today, the School of Nursing enrolls nearly 300 master’s students across six nurse practitioner specialties in mental health, pediatrics, and acute care, as well as concentrations in nursing education and leadership. In 2021, more than 90 percent of master’s students successfully passed their national certification exam on the first try.
