Molloy College – the # 1 college to study healthcare professions
College Factual recently named Molloy the # 1 college for healthcare professions and designated Molloy’s undergraduate nursing program as the best in the U.S.
The nursing program was ranked # 1 out of a total of 500 accredited degree programs reviewed nationally. This honor focused on the college’s educational resources as well as the salaries earned by its graduates. Last year, Molloy opened a new academic building for its nurses and renamed the division of nursing the Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing.
“Molloy has been a leader in nursing since its inception in 1955,” said Jeannine Muldoon, Ph.D., R.N., and Dean of Molloy’s Hagan School of Nursing. “We remain at the forefront in producing well-prepared, excellent nurses, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse educators, nurse administrators, nurse informaticists, nurse scholars and nurse scientists.”
In addition to traditional nursing studies including a variety of graduate and doctoral programs, Molloy offers a variety of other healthcare programs. These options include nuclear medicine technology, respiratory care and cardiovascular technology; an M.B.A. in healthcare; and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling.
College-bound students are always looking for an academic environment that offers the best fit for the student and the best value for their tuition dollars. Molloy’s latest honor was being ranked the “# 1 Value AllStar” in the nation by MONEY® magazine.
The recognition comes as part of MONEY® magazine’s annual college rankings, which acknowledge the best of the country’s institutions of higher education in a multitude of categories. Molloy’s top ranking was based on a variety of factors, including graduation rates and earnings of graduates.
“We invest in student success and we challenge our students to succeed. Molloy students are committed to a value system that stresses a strong work ethic, resiliency, professionalism and leadership,” said Dr. Drew Bogner, President of Molloy College. “This is why they graduate and why they get hired. We reach beyond the classroom and educate the entire person.”
The college is regularly ranked in the listings of outstanding colleges from other notable organizations including The Wall Street Journal, The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report. Those rankings reference Molloy’s freshman retention rate and graduation rate, both of which are among the highest in the country. Molloy graduates’ starting salaries have also ranked among the highest in the U.S. in surveys conducted by Georgetown University, and niche.com recently ranked Molloy’s residence halls the best in New York State.
One of the most affordable private colleges on Long Island, Molloy is an independent Catholic college located in Rockville Centre. Founded in 1955 by the Sisters of Saint Dominic in Amityville, the college provides over 4,900 undergraduate and graduate students with a variety of competitive academic programs including liberal arts, business, education, nursing, biology, social work, new media, speech language pathology, music therapy, theatre arts, criminal justice and many more.
