La Roche’s MSN Program Ranked Among Best Online Nursing Programs
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 9, 2018 – U.S. News and World Report ranked La Roche’s MSN program as a 2018 Best Online Graduate Nursing Program.
U.S. News and World Report, a recognized leader in college rankings, assessed the graduate program through five indicators: student engagement, faculty credentials and training, peer reputation, admissions selectivity, and study services and technology. Data for the five indicators was measured from statistical surveys the program reported and a peer reputation survey.
“We are honored to make the list,” Terri Liberto, Ph.D., RN, chair of the La Roche Nursing Department, said. “Our MSN program offers three tracks: nursing education, nursing administration and clinical nurse leader. The programs are rigorous and taught by expert faculty with the convenience of an online method of delivery. Our students also have the opportunity for certifications upon or after graduation.”
