The UB School of Nursing is consistently ranked among the top nursing programs in the country: U.S. News & World Report recently ranked us in the top third of graduate nursing schools above every other public school in New York. Our faculty, who are active in both research and practice, bring the most current information to our clinical training and classroom discussions. Students explore recent developments in research, learn innovative practice techniques, and explore developing trends in health care and nursing.

This comprehensive approach prepares our graduates for advanced practice roles now and in the future. Because we are committed to our students, we have made our programs and class schedules very flexible. We offer a wide range of programs, and most are available on a full or part-time basis, which can be started in the fall or spring, and are structured to accommodate the individual needs of our students as much as possible. Our classes are scheduled in blocks to reduce the number of days students are required to be on campus, and many are offered at a variety of times. With approximately 200 graduate and 300 undergraduate nursing students diverse in age, background, ethnicity, and gender our classes are small and our faculty members are accessible. The learning environment is one of exploration, where faculty members practice what they teach, learn from students, and jointly explore the science and practice of nursing.
