Value Colleges Releases Rankings of the Best Value BSN and MSN Degree Programs
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Feb. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Value Colleges (www.valuecolleges.com), an independent online guide to the best values in undergraduate and graduate education, is pleased to share two significant new rankings:
Top 25 Best Value Bachelor's of Science in Nursing Degree Programs for 2019
https://www.valuecolleges.com/rankings/best-value-bsn-programs/
Top 25 Best Value Master's of Science in Nursing Programs for 2019
https://www.valuecolleges.com/rankings/best-value-msn-programs/
Value Colleges ranking of the Top 25 BSN Programs and the Top 25 MSN Programs focuses on traditional, on-campus programs that provide the best overall return on investment. For both rankings, Value Colleges based the ranking on the three points most central to value:
- Affordability
- Reputation
- Return on Investment
To make a long story short, the top 3 BSN programs are: 1) University of Michigan, 2) University of Washington, and 3) University of Wisconsin, Madison. The top 3 MSN programs are: 1) University of Pennsylvania, 2) UCLA, and 3) University of Virginia. Value Colleges congratulates the top 3 in each category, as well as all of the Best Value nursing schools!
The full lists, in alphabetical order, can be found below.
As VC editors explain, "The American Nurses Association has long advocated for the BSN as the minimum standard for nurses, and employers are beginning to listen." That means that working nurses with only an ADN should look into getting their BSN, while BSN holders "need to consider going farther and earning a Master of Science in Nursing to distinguish themselves on the job market." A residential program at a respected, well-connected school, the editors go on, means "more engaged mentoring, partnerships with their area hospitals and health care centers, and a built-in job market." With a good residential BSN or MSN program, nurses can feel assured that they're not just getting a solid degree, but a real value that will show a return on the investment of time, money, and energy.
Value Colleges has a mission to help future students - whether they are working professionals, new graduates, minority and first-generation students, or others - to find residential and online degree programs that will help them make their goals a reality. Value Colleges is independent and unbiased, ranking degree programs, providing guides for the complex financial and professional questions of college students, and offering honest facts about the potential and pitfalls of a college education.
