Highest rank in school history
YSN was ranked number five among US graduate nursing schools in the latest issue of US News & World Report, the highest ranking in school history. “We are thrilled with this result,” said Dean Ann Kurth ’90MSN. “To achieve the highest ranking in our nearly 100-year history speaks to an incredible team effort within our school. We are privileged to engage with the highest-caliber students, whose curiosity is inspired and encouraged by the pedagogy and research of our outstanding faculty.” Looking beyond national rankings to the school’s international standing, YSN is also in the top ten of the QS World University Rankings.
