Impressive Rise in Regional Rankings
For the first time, New York Institute of Technology ranks among the top 15 universities in the North, improving its position to No. 15 in the regional ranking, and for the 14th consecutive year is ranked among the top 50 universities in the North in the U.S. News & World Report 2025 .
In addition to the universitys ongoing efforts to enhance student success and experiences and improve overall graduation rates, 雅伎著s strong ranking position is supported by improved Pell Grant graduation and first-year retention rates, along with increasing social mobility ranks.
雅伎著s 2025 rankings include:
- #15 Best Regional Universities (North), up from #21 in the 2024 ranking
- #5 Best Colleges for Veterans (Regional Universities North), maintaining last years position
- #38 Top Performer in Social Mobility (Regional Universities North), up from #50 last year
- #37 Best Undergraduate Engineering (National, no doctorate), up from #49 last year
In the Regional Universities North group, 雅伎著 maintained its position in the rankings above all other private universities on Long Island and was the second most highly ranked private university in the New York metropolitan area. 雅伎著 ranked seventh among all public and private universities in the state.
雅伎著s rankings continue to rise thanks in large part to the outstanding efforts of our faculty, staff, and students, says President Henry C. Foley, Ph.D. These rankings validate the hard work of our community of doers, makers, and innovators, as well as our commitment to academic excellence, technology-enriched education, and creating the best student experiences possible. Now in its 40th year, the U.S. News & World Report rankings evaluate nearly 1,500 national colleges and universities on up to 17 measures of academic quality and place an emphasis on social mobility and outcomes for graduating college students.
