UT Tyler ranked in top 200 undergraduate nursing programs

Tyler—U.S. News and World Report ranked The University of Texas at Tyler’s School of Nursing among the nation’s top 200 undergraduate nursing programs, placing it in the top 22% of accredited baccalaureate programs in the state. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 2025–2035, employment for registered nurses is projected to grow at twice the national average, with advanced nursing roles projected to expand at 12 times the national average. 

“We couldn’t have achieved this ranking without the remarkable dedication of our faculty, developing advanced simulations, continually refining our curriculum and deeply investing in our students’ success,” Dr. Jenifer Chilton, School of Nursing dean, said. “As the healthcare landscape continues to change, we are proud to provide flexible, top-tier educational pathways that empower our students to step into leadership roles and make a profound difference in East Texas.” 

The UT Tyler School of Nursing offers three undergraduate tracks: a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, RN to BSN, and a concurrent Associate Degree in Nursing and BSN. These programs blend dynamic online coursework with hands-on clinical experience, offering both full-time and part-time plans with competitive tuition rates.
