Cedarville University’s School of Nursing has built a strong reputation for training skilled nurses who make a positive difference in healthcare. Recently, Money Magazine recognized Cedarville’s Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program as one of the best in the country. It is one of only two programs in Ohio to earn this distinction.
This ranking comes from a partnership with College Factual, which assesses programs based on quality, cost, and success rates. Schools must meet high standards in affordability and graduate outcomes to appear on this list. Notably, Cedarville’s MSN program stands out for its commitment to excellence.
The demand for advanced practice nurses is on the rise. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 45% growth in nurse practitioner positions over the next ten years. Cedarville responds to this need with various graduate options:
- MSN – Family Nurse Practitioner
- MSN – Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
- MSN – Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
- MSN – Nursing Leadership in Healthcare Improvement
- Dual MSN + MBA pathway
- Graduate Certificates in areas like Global Public Health and Nursing Education
- Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) pathways in multiple specializations
Dr. Angie Mickle, the dean of the School of Nursing, emphasizes that this recognition reflects Cedarville’s dedication to both academic quality and affordable education.
In addition to its nursing programs, Money Magazine has also recognized Cedarville as a top college in America, emphasizing its overall value and successful student outcomes. Among more than 2,400 institutions reviewed, only 732 met the strict criteria for inclusion.
Cedarville University not only excels in nursing education but also fosters a supportive and vibrant Christian community. With around 6,384 students, it stands as one of Ohio’s largest private universities. This combination of mission-driven education and community spirit continues to shape future leaders in healthcare and beyond.
