Feeling left out as a male nurse? Give Albany-based Excelsior College a try.

In nearly 35 years of existence, the school has graduated 35,000 nursing students, 16% of which have been male. That’s 10 percentage points higher than the national workforce average of 6%. To show its appreciation, the American Assembly for Men in Nursing, a national organization aimed at bringing male nurses together, awarded Excelsior the 2006 Best School Award.

Excelsior specializes in distance learning and online degrees.
