Study.com evaluated hundreds of schools for this list using data from the U.S. Department of Education and their own research and ranked schools based on academic and career resources for BSN students, the quality of education, program accessibility and other factors.

The ETSU College of Nursing ranked No. 43 on the list. In the ranking, Study.com highlighted the college’s seven track options that are available to students who desire an undergraduate degree in nursing. These options include a traditional BSN program, several accelerated BSN options, and tracks for current registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who desire to complete their BSN.

“At the ETSU College of Nursing, we have convenient BSN options for current nurses and for those who are just beginning their nursing education,” said Dr. Melessia Webb, associate dean for undergraduate programs. “We are extremely proud of this ranking, which reflects the hard work of our faculty and students.

“As we have done in the past, we will continue to grow and expand our programs to meet the health care needs in the Appalachian Highlands and across the state and the region.”

Employment of RNs is expected to grow 12 percent from 2018 to 2028, and RNs who have a BSN will have better job prospects than those without one, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
