CIU is now #2 in Regional Universities (South) in Social Mobility, up three positions from the 2024 rankings. The Social Mobility ranking is important for students who are economically disadvantaged and less likely to finish college. The survey indicates CIU is among the best in making sure these students succeed.��

CIU is also ranked a Best Value for Regional Universities (South) at #16. This calculation considers a school's academic quality and the net cost of attendance for a student who received the average level of need-based financial aid. The higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the deal.

Veterans will also find CIU a great choice. CIU is ranked #12 as a Best College for Veterans among Regional Universities (South).

Overall, CIU leaped into the #29 position among Regional Universities (South) up from #45 in the 2024 rankings.�� ��

In a new school year when CIU is celebrating record-breaking enrollment, CIU Provost Dr. James Lanpher says the rankings reflect why CIU is becoming a top choice for many students.��

“CIU's continued rise in the rankings shows our focus on the quality of the education that we provide our students,” Lanpher said. “We are especially proud of our #2 social mobility ranking because it shows our commitment to helping first generation and economically disadvantaged students to be successful.”
