Robert Morris University Rankings?

Hi, I'm looking into applying to RMU but I can't seem to find much information on their overall reputation. Can someone help me out with some info on their rankings, both general and within specific majors if possible?

Hello! I'm happy to provide some information on Robert Morris University (RMU). Keep in mind that rankings can be subjective, and finding the right fit for you matters more than a college's general ranking. After all, a school may be lower ranked overall, but be especially strong in the areas that matter most to you. However, understanding a university's broader reputation can give you a better idea of the academic environment you may be entering.

As for RMU's general rankings, it is usually ranked around #258 by US News & World Report's "Best National Universities" list. The university is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

Now let's delve into a few specific majors:

1. Business: RMU's School of Business is respected, and offers undergraduate programs in accounting, finance, management, marketing, and more. Their business programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

2. Nursing: RMU's School of Nursing is ranked #111 (tie) in the Nursing category by US News & World Report. The School of Nursing offers undergraduate and graduate programs, and has an 89% pass rate on the NCLEX-RN exam, which is the test you must take to become a practicing nurse.

3. Engineering: While RMU's engineering programs are not as highly ranked as some other universities, they still offer a range of undergraduate degrees, including in biomedical engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering. The programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

4. Information Technology: RMU has a School of Informatics, Humanities, and Social Sciences that offers an undergraduate degree in information technology. Though not specifically ranked, the department is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET.

That is a brief overview of some of the popular programs at RMU. Of course, the university offers other programs too, in various disciplines. The key takeaway is that while RMU may not be ranked extremely high nationally, it's still a respected institution that offers quality programs in a range of fields.

Ultimately, the right school for you will depend on your interests, goals, and the kind of campus environment you're looking for. What I would suggest is identifying what matters most to you in a college, and then evaluating RMU along those metics. Good luck!
