In its annual analysis of more than 3,000 nursing schools nationwide, the
Nursing Schools Almanac has given the Graduate School of Nursing at UMass Medical School high rankings across four categories. The school ranks second overall in Massachusetts and fourth overall in New England. At the national level, it ranks 23rd among public nursing schools and 41st overall.
Nursing Schools Almanac assesses schools on academic prestige, perceived value, the breadth and depth of nursing programs offered, and student success.
“We are so proud of our faculty and student excellence in care, teaching and service,” said Joan Vitello, PhD, dean of the GSN. “Now more than ever with them entering practice on the frontlines of a health crisis, it is gratifying to know that our graduates are competent and well-prepared for the challenges they face.”
