You are choosing a nursing school, not only a university
Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Howard each teach nursing through their own nursing school, on their own campus. The university name is not enough to tell you how the degree is organized, or where the clinical hours are likely to happen.
A direct path into the nursing school and a pre-nursing path are different timelines. The school's own page is where that structure is described. This guide does not assign one structure to all three.
What to check before cost or a ranking
Before numbers, check three things: which school inside the university teaches nursing, which city the clinical training is tied to, and whether the bachelor's program names a nursing accreditor. Those facts change how you apply. A ranking does not.
Cost, selectivity, and prerequisite courses go stale quickly. They stay off this public page. The three cards below are a sample of nursing schools, not a comparison of outcomes.
