Soaring above and beyond both state and national averages, the Methodist University Bachelor of Science in Nursing’s Class of 2026 has earned a 100% pass rate on the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX).
The recently released results are just another example of MU Nursing and other Health Sciences programs proving their value as graduates are highly sought after and moving into important professions that serve our local communities and beyond.
With a national average of under 90%, the results point to the incredible efforts from the students (who graduated in May of this year) under unmatched leadership, mentorship and professional teaching/training from the faculty.
“Our 100% NCLEX pass rate reflects the dedication of our nursing faculty and their commitment to excellence in nursing education,” said MU’s dean of Health Sciences & Human Services Meredith Gronski, OTD, in a press release. “Our faculty invest in each student’s success from Day 1, and that shared standard is why our graduates are ready to lead in practice.”
