The College of Nursing has increased in U.S. News and World Report’s 2019 Best Graduate School Rankings released Monday.
UF jumped from No. 44 to No. 28 in the Doctor of Nursing Practice section – the highest rated out of all Florida universities. Anna M. McDaniel, Dean of the College of Nursing, wrote in a statement the college is proud to have the program move up in the ranks.
“We pride ourselves on educating the best and brightest advanced practice Gator nurses, who translate theory and research to innovation and evidence-based clinical settings as we continually strive to improve patient outcomes,” McDaniel said.
The report calculated the 2019 Best Graduate Schools Rankings on two sets of data: expert opinions about the programs and statistics that measure the school’s faculty, research and students, according to U.S. News and World Report.
The data gathered for the rankings is from statistical surveys of more than 2,012 programs. The reputation surveys are sent to more than 20,500 academics and professionals, according to U.S. News and World Report. These surveys were conducted in late 2017 and early 2018.
