Auburn University is ranked No. 90 (tie) in Best Nursing Schools: Master's. Schools are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence. (Auburn University College of Nursing is tied with Binghamton University - SUNY, CUNY - College of Staten Island and the University of Maine.)
Auburn University’s high ranking in the six academic disciplines for which schools submit statistical surveys Business (both Full-Time and Part-Time), Education, Engineering, Law (both Full-Time and Part-Time), Medicine (both Primary Care and Research), and Nursing (both MSN and DNP):
Education #76, Engineering #64, Nursing-Master's Degree #90
Those excellent rankings make Auburn University eligible to display U.S. News Best Graduate Schools award “badges” (logos) to promote those programs on web sites, in advertisements, and in a variety of other media. U.S. News badges are widely recognized as symbols of excellence in education.

Each year, U.S. News ranks professional school programs in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing, including specialties in each area. The Best Graduate Schools rankings in these areas are based on two types of data: expert opinion about program excellence and statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school's faculty, research and students.
The data for the rankings in all six disciplines came from statistical surveys of more than 2,150 programs and from reputation surveys sent to more than 23,200 academics and professionals, conducted in fall 2021 and early 2022.
To gather the peer assessment data, U.S. News asked deans, program directors and senior faculty to judge the academic quality of programs in their field on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). To assess academic reputation in business, education, engineering, law, nursing and medicine, U.S. News also surveyed professionals who hire or work with new graduates. In the summer of 2021, the schools supplied U.S. News with the names of those to be surveyed for peer assessment in the fall of 2021 and early 2022.
