by Jennifer Hilliard
MCG’s graduate nursing programs have been ranked among the top graduate health care programs in the country. In its 2008 list of America’s Best Graduate Schools, U.S. News and World Report magazine ranked MCG’s programs 55th out of 435 graduate nursing programs nationwide.
The annual rankings, based on peer assessments of deans, other administrators and faculty at accredited degree programs and schools in each discipline, appeared in the April 9 issue of the magazine.
“We are honored to be among the top programs in the nation,” says School of Nursing Dean Lucy Marion. “This ranking serves as recognition for the vision and the hard work invested by our faculty, staff and university administrators. It also serves as validation that we are in line with our mission to prepare nurses as outstanding health care leaders for the state of Georgia and beyond.”
The school offers degrees at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. Graduate nursing programs are administered jointly by the School of Nursing and School of Graduate Studies.
