Indiana University Southeast garnered several prestigious rankings from the U.S. News & World Report annual college rankings.

Among citations, IU Southeast ranked #50 in Top Public Schools, #82 in Top Performers on Social Mobility, #138 in Regional Universities Midwest, and #218 in Top Undergraduate Nursing (BSN). IU Southeast’s rankings placed them first or second within each category compared to other colleges and universities within the Louisville metropolitan area. U.S. News analyzed more than 1,800 colleges and universities to determine their rankings.

"These rankings use a variety of indicators to assess aspects of educational quality,” said Michelle Williams, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. “Indiana University Southeast consistently places at the top of the list of local colleges and universities, making it a great choice with clear measures of excellence. Whether you want to look at academic program quality, return on investment, career outcomes, alumni engagement, student experience, social mobility, or other measures, IU Southeast provides students with transformative educational experiences."

"Now in its 40th year, the Best Colleges rankings continue to be a trusted source of information for students and their families," says LaMont Jones, Ed.D., managing editor for Education at U.S. News. "By considering factors such as social mobility and post-graduate success, we aim to help students choose schools that not only provide a quality education but also prepare them for a successful and fulfilling future."
