I write to you with exciting news – the U.S. News & World Report Best Grad Schools rankings have confirmed what our community has known all along – the MGH Institute’s School of Nursing is continuing its outstanding recognition nationally and regionally.
Our Doctor of Nursing Practice is the #2 program in Massachusetts (#83 nationally). And our Master of Science Program rose to #2 in Massachusetts and has jumped one spot nationally, to #60.
The news gets even better when you compare these two nursing programs with our peer private institutions: our Doctor of Nursing Practice is ranked 24th nationally, while our Master of Science Program is ranked 23rd.
Regionally among private schools and colleges of nursing, our Doctor of Nursing Practice Program is ranked #1 in Massachusetts while the Master of Science program holds the # 2 spot in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is 3rd in New England.
As I near the completion of my second year here at the Institute, I am thrilled with the pieces we have in place to make even more gains in the future. Our outstanding faculty, students, and alumni, along with the academic and practice partnerships we enjoy with Mass General Brigham, provide a powerful combination that is helping raise the bar when it comes to nursing program excellence.
Our graduates go on to work at some of the best hospitals in the country and they are thriving. The compassion, advocacy, leadership, and excellence that are synonymous with our School of Nursing alumni are a huge source of pride for me, as I’m sure it is for you, too. And the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings reflect the good work we're doing, and are a harbinger of more significant accomplishments and growth that is to come.
In celebration and with gratitude,
Ken
