APU Ranks in Money’s Best Nursing and Education Grad School Programs
March 11, 2025 | Category Education, Nursing
Azusa Pacific University was ranked in
Money’s
Best Graduate School Programs 2025
for
education
and
nursing
. Focusing on affordability, value, and return on investment,
Money
partnered with College Factual to evaluate thousands of universities across the country,
with only those that score four stars or higher making the list.
“We are honored by this national recognition of our exceptional education and nursing
graduate programs,” said
Anita Fitzgerald Henck
, PhD, provost. “Our outstanding faculty equip students with the skills they need
to succeed in the classroom and clinical environments after graduation. It’s incredibly
rewarding to watch our graduates land jobs in their field each year as they live out
their calling to impact the world for Christ.”
Unlike traditional undergraduate program rankings which prioritize admissions rates,
test scores, and subjective peer assessed reputation,
Money’s
methodology focuses on return on investment for students looking to earn a graduate
degree to advance in their careers. The top weighted criteria are average earnings
after graduation, employment rates, and debt. With the rising costs of graduate level
education, Money sees the direct correlation between quality of education and the
lessened financial impact on the consumer, the lower the overall cost, the better
the long-term return on investment.
Recognized for excellence in nursing education, APU ranks in the top five percent
of nursing programs in the nation in 2024 according to College Factual. Commended
