Nazareth University is recognized by U.S. News & World Report in 2024 Best College rankings

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.

For its strong commitment to helping economically disadvantaged students earn college degrees, Nazareth climbed 11 spots to No. 92 among Top Performers on Social Mobility.

"Accessibility and affordability for all students is extremely important to Nazareth University, and we are proud to see U.S. News & World Report recognizing our hard work by moving Nazareth up in the rankings as a top school that is committed to working with each family to make a college degree possible," said Danielle Bucci, Nazareth's vice president for strategic enrollment, marketing, and communications.

Nazareth stands at No. 33 in regional rankings as one of the Best Value Schools. U.S. News evaluates a school's academic quality and the net cost of attendance for an out-of-state student who received the average level of need-based financial aid. The higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the value.

Best College for Veterans: Nazareth moved up five spots to No. 18 among the top-ranked schools in Best Regional Universities North that participate in federal initiatives helping veterans and active-duty service members pay for their degrees.
