Nursing graduate program on U.S. News list of top programs in the nation

The LLU graduate nursing degree program has been included in the U.S. News list of top programs in the nation.

According to a description of how the schools were ranked, U.S. News states that master's and doc toral programs were ranked by reputation. "U.S. News surveyed the dean or top administrator and at least one other administrator or faculty member at each school and asked them to rank the programs they were familiar with in their particular discipline."

Disciplines ranked by reputation are evaluated every third year—and this year health-care programs were evaluated. According to Helen E. King, PhD, RN, dean of the School of Nursing, Loma Linda's School of Nursing is gaining a reputation for excellence in research and is now in the top 40 schools of nursing receiving funding from the National Institutes of Health.
