The University of Scranton’s Nursing Program has been named a Center of Excellence by the National League of Nursing, placing the program as one of America’s best at fostering learning and professional development.

The National League for Nursing designated the University as a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education, one of just 15 school- or hospital-based programs to earn the distinction for 2016. It was among seven first-time recipients of the honor.

The University will be recognized formally at the Organization’s 2016 Education Summit in Orlando, Florida.
