The Wayne State University College of Nursing’s bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program has risen 20 spots to #31 in U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 ranking of the nation’s best undergraduate nursing programs. The new ranking places the Wayne State BSN in the top 5% of undergraduate nursing programs in the country and the second-highest ranked BSN program in Michigan.  

The rise in the 2024 rankings reflects a yearslong trend in national recognition for the WSU College of Nursing’s graduate and undergraduate programs, as the college’s MSN and DNP continue to be ranked among the nation’s best and second highest in MIchigan.

“Our graduate and undergraduate programs provide a truly distinct nursing education that prepares Wayne State nurses to become leaders across the discipline. I’m thrilled that continues to be recognized and reflected through our national rankings,” said College of Nursing Dean Laurie Lauzon Clabo, PhD, RN, FAAN. “It’s a testament to our expert faculty, talented students, and commitment to our Detroit community and the advancement of urban health.”
