Rochester, NY (09/24/2024) — Nazareth University is a top performer in the U.S. News & World Report 2025 Best College rankings, moving up 10 spots from last year to #44 in the Best Regional Universities North.

Nazareth stands at No. 33 in regional rankings as one of the Best Value Schools.

The higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the value.
