Best regional universities North: No. 33

We see each student as a whole individual, and work to support them in every aspect of their experience. You’ll find an array of academic programs, networks, systems and resources to drive your holistic growth both at Canisius and beyond. We think it’s our dedication to providing the support to succeed and the opportunity to lead that make us the best, and we have the results to prove it.

Best value schools: No. 12

Value equals cost plus outcomes. Win on both sides of the equation at Canisius. Griffs not only owe less on average to earn their degree, they also earn more with that degree. And with our Golden Griffin Guarantee, you’ll graduate on time or your last semester is on us. College math that actually maths – imagine that.

Best for undergraduate teaching: No. 8

You go to college to learn from experts, not student TAs who just took the course last semester. Here, 100% of classes are taught by faculty in small groups. When you work closely with faculty-mentors who are as passionate about your success as they are about their field of inquiry, you take your learning further than you ever thought possible.

Best for social mobility: No. 56

Those students who tend to get left behind are at the top of our mind. We’re firm believers in the power of education to transform lives, especially because we make it happen. We are among the best schools enrolling – and graduating – students who receive federal Pell funding. No matter where you’re starting from, Canisius can help you go anywhere.

Best for veterans: No. 14

Service of all stripes is core to our mission and identity, so it’s important to us to support those who serve. We’re proud to be among the top schools that are GI Bill® certified and that participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, making our transformative education and outstanding outcomes more accessible to veterans and active-duty members of the military.
