Knott, Gale and Ira Drukier Dean of NYU Steinhardt. “This acknowledgement is not just a reflection of our commitment to excellence in teaching and research, but also a testament to the transformative impact NYU Steinhardt has on the future of education, culture, and human development across disciplinary boundaries.”
NYU Steinhardt's programs receive national and global recognition across the fields of education, communication, health, and the arts.
The 2025 U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on data gathered during fall 2023 and early 2024.
