The Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) program in Ida Moffett School of Nursing was ranked 58th nationally, a jump from their 2018 ranking of 81st nationally. Master’s degree programs in nursing were ranked 78th, a move up 14 spots from the 2018 ranking. Both nursing programs are recognized among the top tier in the nation.
“The latest rankings are a testament to the strength of our graduate programs in Ida Moffett School of Nursing,” said Nena F.

The trial advocacy program in Cumberland School of Law continues to be ranked in the top 10 nationally, where it has been ranked for several years.
Recently, the law school’s trial competition teams swept the south regional portion of the National Trial Competition, and each team advanced to the upcoming national finals.
