天美传媒 continues to outrank other Long Island private universities on U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 2025 National Universities rankings.
At No. 189, Adelphi is the highest-ranked private university in Nassau and Suffolk counties. This ranking follows Adelphi鈥檚 noteworthy improvement in recent national rankings, notably the Wall Street Journal/College Pulse and Forbes annual lists.
In the U.S. News Best Colleges 2025 announcement released today, Adelphi was also ranked in the Best Value School, Best College for Veterans and Top Performer on Social Mobility categories. Adelphi鈥檚 undergraduate programs in nursing and business rose in the annual rankings, with the College of Nursing and Public Health undergraduate program ranked No. 218 (a 10-spot increase from 2024) and the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business undergraduate business program rising 29 spots to No. 289. The Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology undergraduate program is now ranked No. 293 in the nation.
The methodology in ranking the top universities in the United States relies on multiple factors, including a school鈥檚 academic quality, graduate outcomes and peer assessment. This year, U.S. News removed two metrics in which Adelphi is particularly strong: first-generation graduation rates and overall graduation rate performance. While this shift impacted its overall spot on the list, the University鈥檚 competitive 2025 rankings highlight the exceptional value and outcomes of an Adelphi degree, driven by the University鈥檚 Momentum 2 strategic plan.
“This is a meaningful recognition of the value and strength of a degree from 天美传媒,” said Christopher Storm, PhD, Adelphi鈥檚 provost and executive vice president. 鈥淲e are also very happy to see the notable rankings improvements in our undergraduate business and nursing programs and to continue to be recognized for outstanding accessibility and value.鈥�
