Emory University fell to No. 22 in the 2023 U.S. News & World Report’s (USNWR) “Best Colleges” ranking for national universities, following five consecutive years of Emory being ranked No. 21. The last time Emory’s rank dropped was in 2017, when it lost its No. 20 spot in the USNWR rankings. 

Emory’s No. 22 position is the University’s lowest rank in decades. Since 1994, Emory’s rank never fell below No. 21 — until now.

The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing maintained their No. 2 position in the undergraduate nursing rankings. Goizueta Business School’s rank improved by one position, now ranking No. 13 for undergraduate business programs.

In an Emory News Center press release, the University stated that “the new rankings are the latest indicator of Emory’s leadership in higher education.”

USNWR included a new ranking this year for “Least Debt.” This list,which includes Emory, acknowledges schools where students graduated with the lowest amount of debt. 

Emory is also identified as No. 21 for both the undergraduate teaching program ranking and the “Best Value” schools based on academic quality and cost. 

This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
