10.57177/idn.v17.334 - 2024 - Southern Utah University Named in 2024 UT Nursing Rankings from RNto MSN.org. SUU earned #3 ranking in RNtoMSN.org's guide to Utah's best online RN to BSN programs for 2023-2024: https://www.rntomsn.org/rn-to-bsn-online/utah/. Students in Utah have much to consider when comparing the state's nursing schools. To simplify their search, we developed a rankings methodology around what students value most in RN to BSN programs:
-Affordability
- Program Quality
- Reputation
- Student Outcomes
We use multiple data points to score nursing schools for each category, including program costs, outside awards, admissions selectivity, graduation rates, student debt and earnings, and more. Our methodology prioritizes well-rounded excellence over school size or prominence, and the final rankings represent Utah's best online RN to BSN programs.
Congratulations on SUU's #3 ranking, which we hope is a point of pride for the nursing school. The award graphic for this achievement is attached, which you are welcome to use as you like. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
