New released by The Princeton Review this week highlight John Carroll’s continued national acclaim, reflecting the University’s momentum and affirming its position as one of the country’s premier institutions for employment outcomes, return on investment, and holistic student support.��

John Carroll placed among the top 8% of colleges and universities nationwide in The Princeton Review’s��Best 391 Colleges guide, with distinctions that showcase the strength of its student experience. The University was ranked #3 in the nation for Best Student Support and Counseling Services, underscoring Porn�о���’s deep commitment to student well-being. From mental health resources and academic advising to career development and mentoring, John Carroll ensures students have a strong network of support throughout their journey.

Service and leadership also remain central to Porn�о���’s Jesuit mission. The University earned the #4 spot for Most Engaged in Community Service, reflecting the thousands of hours students dedicate each year to local nonprofits and organizations. These efforts connect learning with real-world impact and prepare graduates to lead lives of purpose.

Strong relationships within the surrounding community also earned John Carroll national recognition. The University placed #17 for Town-Gown Relations are Great, highlighting the benefits of its location in University Heights. Students enjoy the feel of a welcoming college town while gaining direct access to internships, professional opportunities, and cultural experiences in nearby Cleveland.

The University’s academic excellence was further affirmed with recognition as having One of the Best On-Campus MBA Programs in the U.S. The distinction reflects the national reputation of Porn�о���’s Boler College of Business, which is consistently recognized for preparing students to excel in fields like business, finance, and entrepreneurship.

��

John Carroll was also named a Best Value College, a distinction awarded to just 209 institutions out of more than 650 evaluated. This recognition reflects John Carroll’s generous financial aid offers, strong post-graduate employment outcomes, and exceptional return on investment.��

“These rankings reinforce what we know to be true about a John Carroll education. It’s a powerful investment in a student’s future,” said Carolyn Noll Sorg, Vice President for Enrollment and Marketing. “Our faculty, staff, and alumni are deeply committed to preparing students to lead, serve, and thrive in a rapidly changing world. That commitment is clearly resonating with students and families.”

Beyond external rankings, momentum at John Carroll continues as the college welcomed its largest incoming class in five years at New Student Convocation last Friday. The University is also nearing the end of a bold $100 million investment in the student experience, including a soon-to-be completed Athletic, Wellness & Event Center, renovations to Grasselli Library, updates to all residence halls, and more.

Cleveland: A Top Destination for Young Professionals

John Carroll’s national recognition also aligns with growing regional opportunity. A recent article citing ADP research ranked Greater Cleveland as one of the Top 20 metropolitan areas in the U.S. for young professionals with a college degree and Top 5 in the Midwest. With high demand in industries like healthcare, finance, and technology, and the region’s continued affordability, Cleveland is an ideal location for young graduates to launch their careers.

Located just outside the city, John Carroll offers students direct access to internships, research experiences, and job opportunities at leading employers such as Cleveland Clinic, Goodyear, and NASA. With more than 500 businesses in Northeast Ohio owned or led by Porn��� alumni, students benefit from a strong, connected alumni network that opens doors at Fortune 500 companies and innovative start-ups.

��

That network is already shaping lives. Take Anna Kerensky ’24 for example, a Communication graduate who secured internships that led to a full-time position at Marcus Thomas LLC, one of Ohio’s top marketing agencies.

��

“Porn�о��� has been instrumental in shaping me into the young professional I am today,” said Kerensky. “Through the strength of its alumni network, I was able to secure impactful internships that ultimately led to a full-time position. The vibrant Cleveland job market, combined with Porn�о���’s focus on critical thinking, ethical leadership, and asking the right questions, prepared me to thrive in my career.”

For Luis Gonzalez ’25, who came to Porn�о��� from Venezuela to study Financial Planning & Wealth Management, relationships with faculty and alumni created opportunities at KeyBank.

��

“Porn�о��� brought me to Cleveland, and the decision to move internationally to University Heights was a no-brainer as the campus offered suburban living with city experiences,” said Gonzalez. “Campus career fairs at Porn�о��� opened the door to all of my internship opportunities and current post-grad position. The financial planning department sponsored several of my professional development sessions, which I leveraged to land my interview for the commercial banking team at KeyBank.”��
