This is made possible through the personalized attention and guidance provided by our faculty and staff, and we’re delighted that our efforts are being recognized in this way.”
For the 2022 edition, U.S. News assessed 1,728 online degree programs and ranked 1,646. The publication based its online graduate program rankings on statistical data provided by the participating institutions and by peer assessment. Researchers looked at several factors in determining the rankings, including engagement, faculty credentials and training, expert opinion, student excellence, and services and technology offerings.
King’s online MSN program is designed for working nurses who wish to advance their careers. The program offers three concentrations of study: nurse educator, nurse administrator, and pediatric nurse practitioner.
