Enrollment Growth in U.S. Nursing Colleges and Universities Hits an 8-Year Low According to New Data Released by AACN
Date:12/3/2008

ly lower increase than was realized last year (11.7 percent) and 2006 (18.1 percent). Graduations from master's programs increased by 10.6% in 2008 which is comparable to the increases in 2007 (12.3 percent) and 2006 (9.7 percent).

In doctoral nursing programs, overall enrollment is up by 9.7 percent, and graduations increased by 17.6 percent from 2007 to 2008 (same 87 schools reporting). Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs account for the growth in this student population with a 36.4 percent increase in enrollments reported this year. In 2008, the number of students enrolled in research-focused doctoral programs (i.e. PhD, DNSc) decreased slightly by 0.4 percent according to preliminary estimates.

"Maintaining a robust pipeline of nursing students in research-focused doctoral programs is critical to the nursing profession and a priority for AACN," said Dr. Raines. "AACN's recently formed Task Force on the Future of the Research-Focused Doctorate in Nursing is working to address this issue directly by identifying strategies to increase the number and diversity of individuals seeking careers as nurse researchers."

Fewer Qualified Students Turned Away

Though interest in nursing careers remains strong, many individuals seeking to enter the profession cannot be accommodated in nursing programs due to faculty and resource constraints. Preliminary AACN data show that 27,771 qualified applications were turned away from 406 entry-level baccalaureate nursing programs in 2008. This number is significantly lower than the final numbers reported in previous years which reached a high of 38,415 applications turned away in 2006. AACN expects this number to increase when final data on qualified applicants turned away in 2008 are available in March
