"We are delighted that U.S. News & World Report has once again recognized our Master of Science in Nursing program as among the top programs nationally," said Nalini Jairath, dean of nursing. "To have our master's program ranked 40th and our pediatric nurse practitioner program ranked 10th is indeed an honor in an increasingly competitive world."
