Arcadia Is a 2027 U.S. News Best College; Top 10 Nationally for Study Abroad

Arcadia University is a U.S. News Best College, including among the top 10 in the nation and first in Pennsylvania for study abroad. The 2027 Best Colleges rankings from U.S. News & World Report also include nods for Arcadia as a Top Private School and a Top Performer on Social Mobility.

Whereas Arcadia previously appeared in the U.S. News Best Colleges rankings under Regional Universities North, Arcadia's graduate and doctoral programs expansion led Carnegie to boost its classification, resulting in our move to the National Universities category.

Arcadia has also been named by The Princeton Review among the best colleges in the Mid-Atlantic for 12 years straight. Our study abroad-specific accolades include being #1 for undergraduate study abroad participation in the Institute of International Education's Open Doors Report.

Arcadia's graduate programs in the health sciences and education are also nationally ranked, with Arcadia's Doctor of Physical Therapy program holding the top spot in the Philadelphia region.
