PACE FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER PROGRAM
PACE FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER PROGRAM IN NATIONAL TOP TEN RANKINGS
We are pleased to announce this wonderful acknowledgement of our graduate program and Family Nurse Practitioner track:
The 2008 U.S. News & World Report Guide to America’s Best Graduate Schools reports the following for the Lienhard School of Nursing:
• The Family Nurse Practitioner Program was ranked #9 in the U.S. out of 285 FNP programs
• The graduate program in nursing was ranked #63 in the U.S. out of 448 master’s programs
The FNP program has only two top-tier peers in the Northeast -- Yale and Columbia. The others at this level are at the University of Washington, the University of California at San Francisco. the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Colorado Health Science Center, the University of Maryland, the University of North Carolina, and Rush University. Pace’s FNP program was one of the first in New York State and has been preparing FNPs for over 30 years. Four faculty members are Fellows in the American Academy of Nursing, of which there are only 1,500 worldwide.
I am very proud of the fine work that our faculty and staff are doing to assure that we maintain a quality program and want to congratulate all of them for their consistently outstanding work.
