Rosemont is the only college in the Philadelphia region in the Top 10 Top Performer in Social Mobility 2022 Rankings
U.S. News & World Report ranked Rosemont College #7 as a Top Performer in Social Mobility 2022, up from #15 last year. This is the third consecutive year that Rosemont has been ranked in the top 15 and the second time it has been ranked in the top 10 on Social Mobility. Additionally, Rosemont College has again been included in this year’s U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges Regional Universities North rankings for the sixth consecutive year.
According to U.S. News, economically disadvantaged students are less likely than others to finish college, even when controlling for other characteristics.
“We are thrilled to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report,” said Jayson Boyers, EdD, President of Rosemont College. “U.S. News has confirmed what we knew all along. Rosemont has a long history of providing access to education. We believe all people have a right to a quality education that will empower them to find their voice and understand how they can use it to have positive impact. This is especially true for students who fall into groups that societal structures marginalize. This began in 1921 when Rosemont opened as a women’s college—when less than 8% of women had access to a higher education. Today, Rosemont continues to support students from all backgrounds to find the POWER of their voice. We welcome students from all walks of life because we know they will find their unique fit here and excel within our community.”
Founded in 1921 by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Rosemont College is a private, coeducational institution that is rooted in Catholicism and welcomes people of all faiths. Rosemont offers a comprehensive education through small group and experiential learning experiences while providing campus-wide academic, spiritual, and professional support. The College respects and embraces diversity and individuality and promotes students’ lifelong success.
