About Meyers

Named for Rose-Marie “Rory” Mangeri Meyers, NYU Meyers generates knowledge through research in nursing, health, interdisciplinary science, and educates leaders in nursing to advance healthcare locally and globally.  NYU Meyers provides innovative and exemplary healthcare, offers access to a diverse group of entrants to the profession, and shapes the future of nursing through leadership in policy. Founded in 1932, NYU Meyers is the second-largest private university college of nursing in the US, and reflects the intellectual curiosity, dynamism, and quality characteristic of NYU.  First as a department, then a division, and now an independent college, our world-class BS, MS, DNP, and PhD programs provide the education foundation to prepare the next generation of nursing leaders. NYU Meyers has the oldest PhD in nursing program in the country. The College’s graduates and its faculty are forerunners in a new era of nursing, where playing a leadership role in achieving excellent patient outcomes and a healthier global society are priorities.
