Saint Joseph’s University has once again been recognized as a leader in online higher education for its graduate programs by U.S. News & World Report. The annual “Best Online Programs” ranking, released on Jan. 21, 2025, provides individuals looking to complete or further their education the opportunity to evaluate online programs at accredited institutions.

The University’s specialty MBA programs ranked in the top 20 for business analytics, finance, general management and marketing, while its master’s in business programs for veterans ranked in the top 50. Saint Joseph’s master’s in criminal justice also made the list, coming in at number 32.

“As demand for online learning continues to grow, we are meeting students where they are with top-ranked programs that prepare them for their professional and educational pursuits,” says Jean McGivney-Burelle, PhD, provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. “Saint Joseph’s faculty are leaders within their fields and disciplines, and these rankings underscore the faculty’s efforts to create rewarding academic and professional development experiences that yield exceptional students and graduates.”

“Best Online Programs” ranking methodologies vary by discipline but are based on factors such as student engagement, peer assessment, faculty credentials, student excellence, and services and technology.

These rankings add to the University’s consistently strong showing among other national lists, including U.S. News & World Report’s Best Regional Universities North (top five), Princeton Review’s Best Colleges and Best Mid-Atlantic categories, and Niche’s Best Catholic Colleges list.
