Walsh University’s Gary and Linda Byers School of Nursing has seen a significant rise in the latest US News & World Report rankings, moving up 127 points to No. 345 nationally in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Programs category, from last year’s rank of No. 472. This improvement underscores Walsh’s dedication to high-quality education and preparing students for successful nursing careers.

Additionally, Walsh University maintains its position at No. 352 among Top National Universities, unchanged from the previous year. These rankings are part of U.S. News & World Report’s evaluation of nearly 1,500 national colleges and universities based on 17 measures of academic quality, emphasizing social mobility and student outcomes.

Walsh University was elevated to the national rankings category from the Midwest category several years ago due to its diverse program offerings, research initiatives, and expanding international and online presence. Its inclusion in the Newman Guide for Catholic education highlights its national reputation for integrating faith, reason, and service. With students from 36 countries and partnerships extending beyond the Midwest, Walsh’s impact reaches well beyond regional boundaries.
