U.S. News & World Report has again ranked Neumann University among the Best Regional Universities in the North for social mobility in its Best Colleges 2022 issue. Neumann was also ranked among the best for social mobility last year, rising from #62 in the North in 2021 to #47 in 2022.
The ranking identifies colleges that are successful at advancing social mobility by enrolling and graduating significant proportions of economically challenged students who are eligible for Pell Grants. In the fall of 2020, nearly half of Neumann’s freshmen (46 percent) were first-generation college students.
