Graduate nursing programs from across the
country were ranked in 2007. Out of 354 surveyed programs, UK
now is tied for 26th. Last ranked in 2003, the
College was then ranked at 29th.
UK’s graduate nursing program is tied with
those at Boston College, Emory University, New York University,
the University of Alabama-Birmingham, and the University of
Arizona. Seven of the programs ranked higher than UK are
part of private institutions.
"The UK College
of Nursing is extremely pleased with the recognition of our
graduate program," said Jane Kirschling, dean of the College of
Nursing. "Over the past decade, UK has grown in national
prominence and we are pleased that we continue to improve our
ranking and provide outstanding opportunities for graduate
nursing education at UK."
In 1998 the UK College of Nursing broke into
the top 50 graduate programs in the nation. Nursing programs are
ranked by U.S. News every four years. With each ranking
period, UK has steadily risen.

Nursing was recently ranked as ninth in the nation among both
public and private universities. The Faculty Scholarly Activity
Index was published in the Jan. 12, 2007 issue of The
Chronicle of Higher Education.

enrollment in its undergraduate nursing program, effective with
the class entering for fall 2007.
