Recognized for top programs in a national education survey

Ten Rivier University programs have been awarded top ranking status by Intelligent.com, an organization that evaluates degree programs to assist prospective college students. The company recently released its 2022 higher education resource guide ranking thousands of U.S. institutions based on an assessment of 2,900 accredited colleges and universities. The research identifies programs in the nation based on flexibility, faculty, course strength, cost, and reputation.

“Rivier University maintains a strong focus on workforce development,” says Sister Paula Marie Buley, IHM, Rivier’s President. “These top program rankings in nursing, information technology, business, and counseling advance the pipeline of highly qualified professionals serving in these industries. This is crucial as the country works to overcome challenges in healthcare, supply chain management, and substance use disorders.”
