In addition, Touro’s significant rise in social mobility rankings, climbing 71 places to No. 73, as well as best value rankings, improving 15 places to No. 104, comes at a critical moment for higher education, as students and families nationwide confront rising tuition costs and shrinking post-graduation opportunities. With affordability and career outcomes under greater scrutiny than ever, Touro’s jump in social mobility signal the University’s growing strength in helping students from all backgrounds not only access a quality education, but graduate prepared to succeed in a challenging economy.

“Over the past decade, Touro has made great strides to expand our program offerings, find new ways to support our students from classroom to career, and continue to deliver excellence,” said Dr. Alan Kadish, President of Touro University. “We are pleased to see this incredible momentum reflected in this year's rankings, highlighting Touro's growth in scale, impact, and preparing students for what they need to take on a changing world."

Founded in 1970, Touro University is the largest institution under Jewish auspices in America and operates as a national system with more than 19,000 students across 35 schools in the U.S. and abroad. As an institution, Touro is committed to empowering students to achieve outstanding careers in medicine, health sciences, education, business, AI and law. In fact, the university produces nearly 4% of the nation’s new doctors each year and continues to expand with innovative programs and facilities.
