Online school programs have remained competitive over the years. UConn’s School of Nursing has managed to thrive and stay within the top 20 in the nation. The 2023 online nursing master’s rankings evaluated 203 programs across the country and evaluated more than 1,800 online bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.
