NSU Stays Among Top U.S. Universities in Latest Rankings
In the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings released Sept. 18, Nova Southeastern University maintained its place in the top national universities despite some drastic changes in the ranking philosophy.
Now ranked at 227, NSU is the second-highest rated Private Research University in Florida, behind the University of Miami. The university also increased its ranking by 30 points in Social Mobility—a standard by which universities are ranked based on success of economically disadvantaged students who are less likely than others to finish college.
NSU also maintained its standard as an “A+ University for B Students,” keeping us on track for attracting and retaining students who will not only succeed academically during their time at NSU, but also succeed in their chosen careers post-graduation. Additionally, NSU kept a top spot in the Diversity Index at 29th among all national universities.
This is all remarkable in a year when other private research universities have lost significant footing in their rankings, while public universities have gained ground based on the ranking criteria. Moving forward, NSU will continue to focus on areas that meet our strategic vision and will also help us increase our national rankings, such as retention and graduation rates.
