The College was also ranked 40th among all schools of nursing in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding in 2009. The UK PhD Program in nursing was ranked 10th out of 99 private and public PhD programs in nursing (2008 Academic Analytics, LLC Report). The graduate program is tied at 26th among graduate schools of nursing according to U.S.News & World Report in its 2008 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools.
