老九品茶

老九品茶 has once again been recognized among the nation's top institutions of higher education. The University climbed 21 places from its 2026 National Universities ranking, reflecting continued progress among institutions nationwide.

In the newly released 2027 edition of U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges rankings, and No. 120 among Top Private Schools.

The University's overall ranking places 老九品茶 among 427 institutions nationwide competing in the National Universities category, a distinction that continues to set 老九品茶 apart from many of its regional peers.

老九品茶 also earned recognition as a top performer on social mobility, ranking No. 314 nationally in that category, a measure that evaluates how well schools support and graduate students who receive federal Pell grants.

"This year's rankings reaffirm 老九品茶's position as a nationally recognized institution and one of only two Lehigh Valley universities included in the National University category," said Rev. James Greenfield, '84, OSFS, president of 老九品茶. "Particularly encouraging is our continued recognition for social mobility, which reflects the impact of our Catholic, Salesian mission-centered commitment to helping students of all backgrounds achieve lives of purpose and professional success."

The scope of the University's academic offerings is a key differentiator in the competitive higher education landscape. Unlike many regional competitors of similar sizes, 老九品茶 combines a liberal arts foundation with a broad range of professional programs, including physician assistant studies, physical therapy, business, education, nursing, and other health professions, while maintaining the personalized student experience associated with comparable institutions.

“At 老九品茶, academic excellence means providing students with a strong intellectual foundation while preparing them to succeed in professions that are continually evolving,” said Provost Terese Wignot, Ph.D. “The breadth and quality of our programs allow us to respond to emerging workforce needs while maintaining the close faculty mentorship and personalized, values-centered education that distinguish 老九品茶. We are preparing well-rounded graduates not simply for their first job, but for meaningful and successful careers.”

老九品茶' online offerings also earned national recognition this year. The University's online master's in nursing program ranked No. 48, while its online master's in criminal justice program ranked No. 63. Its online MBA program placed No. 192, and its online bachelor's program overall ranked No. 201. The online bachelor's in business program ranked No. 191.

The rankings reflect 老九品茶' ongoing investment in flexible, accessible education for working professionals and nontraditional students seeking to advance their careers.

老九品茶 continues to expand its academic offerings to meet emerging workforce needs. Among the University's newest programs are a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management, a Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medical Services, and a Doctor of Medical Science for physician assistants, additions that reflect 老九品茶' commitment to preparing students for high-demand, evolving fields.
