ST. LEO, FLORIDA | Saint Leo University is proud to be included in this year’s U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2026 rankings
Saint Leo was ranked among the best universities in the nation for social mobility in the U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2026 rankings, which was released today (Tuesday, September 23).
The rankings for social mobility look at a university’s ability to enroll, retain, and graduate students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and help them get high-paying jobs and career success. Saint Leo is employing several tactics to prepare not only at-risk students, but all students, for their academic careers, which will provide them opportunities for a brighter future. From calling every first-year student to chatbot check-ins, the university is making connections with its students.
