The UCI Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing has been ranked as the ninth best nursing school among California’s 70 schools by Nursing Schools Almanac.
The school is also the 18th best school in the Western region, the fifth best in the Los Angeles metro area and 60th among public nursing schools nationwide.
Just 6% of nursing schools achieve a national ranking by the almanac.
Nursing Schools Almanac evaluates schools for their:
- Academic prestige and perceived value
- Breadth and depth of nursing programs offered
- Student success, especially on the NCLEX licensure examination
The almanac cites UCI for:
- Small undergraduate class size — about 50 students
- Innovative Master’s Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) curriculum with a concentration in Community and Population Health
- PhD focus areas: health promotion and disease prevention, health disparities and diversity, disease and symptom management, and health services and policy
- A family nurse practitioner track that’s the first and only one in the UC system
