“Receiving this level of recognition from one of the nation’s most respected ranking organizations speaks to the quality and breadth of our current and emerging undergraduate programs and the dedication of our faculty to provide students meaningful, engaging experiences,’’ said Dr. Javier Kypuros, dean of the College of Engineering.
The UT Tyler School of Nursing aims to provide students with the advanced skills they need in convenient formats to meet the growing demand for patient care and leadership in the health care industry.
