Marquette’s Master’s in Computing program is ranked 6th among Best Online Computer Information Technology Masters Programs; it was ranked 16th the year prior.
The College of Nursing’s online program is ranked 47th among Best Online Master’s in Nursing Programs — up 11 spots from last year, and up more than 100 spots from 2019, the first time it was ranked in the category.
“To again be recognized by U.S. News for Best Online Programs underscores Marquette’s commitment to adapt and enhance its online offerings to best serve our diverse student body and meet the needs of our community with regard to high-demand fields,” says Kimo Ah Yun, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs.
