Molloy College named top school by U.S. News and World Report

Molloy College announced earlier this month that it has been ranked among the Best Regional Universities (Masters) in U.S. News and World Report’s America’s Best Colleges rankings. The U.S. News and World Report provides annual rankings and reviews of colleges, based on a variety of criteria.

“We are pleased that Molloy has earned its highest ranking ever as one of the top universities in the North,” said Molloy College President Dr. Drew Bogner. “We also take pride in the fact that our strong retention and graduation rates were recognized in these rankings.”

The rankings referenced Molloy’s average freshmen retention rate of 89 percent, among the highest in the country. Additionally, Molloy’s graduation rate was 13 percentage points higher than the predicted rate, based on student criteria such as test scores and the proportion receiving Pell grants.

Molloy’s Graduate Nursing Program and the Graduate Speech-Language Pathology Program were also nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Molloy was also highly ranked as one of the best colleges for veterans.
