For the fourth straight year since U.S. News first began publishing nursing major rankings, DUSON’s Family Nurse Practitioner, Nursing and Healthcare Leadership, and Nursing Education master’s specialties each ranked #1 among nursing schools across the country. DUSON’s ranked #4 overall for the best online master’s in nursing program and #3 for best online master’s in nursing program for veterans.

“The recognition of DUSON’s innovative distance-based master’s in nursing program reflects Duke’s enduring commitment to excellence in advanced nursing education,” said Interim Dean Michael Relf. “The transformative achievements of our program’s graduates reaffirm DUSON’s mission of advancing health equity and social justice.”

The U.S. News & World Report will announce its 2025 Best Graduate Nursing School rankings later this spring.
