Money, a personal finance website, released its list of the 47 best nursing master’s programs in the U.S.
Money analyzed a list of all the schools that reported nursing master’s degree completions in 2022. This list was narrowed down to programs that reported having more than 20 students, were at public, private or not-for-profit schools, had regional accreditation, were not at a mostly online school, and had sufficient and reliable data to be analyzed. Programs were then ranked on quality, affordability and value. Read more about the methodology here.
