Western New England University's School of Law has recently earned a spot on The Princeton Review's highly acclaimed "Best Law Schools for 2023" list, solidifying its status as one of the best law schools in the country.
Drawing data from Harvard's Opportunity Insights project, The New York Times ranked WNE 10th from a field of over 575 selective private institutions in the country, measuring factors that contribute to significant economic advancement (students rising from the bottom fifth of incomes to the top fifth as adults).
The rankings from Georgetown University follow the methodology of their report, A First Try at ROI: Ranking 4,500 Colleges. Western New England University was ranked in the top 6% of colleges and universities by ROI—#1 in Springfield and 3rd in the Pioneer Valley behind Williams and Amherst Colleges.
The WNE College of Engineering continues to be ranked in the top 100 Undergraduate Engineering (no doctorate) program category. This ranking is based on survey results conducted by U.S. News of deans and faculty members of undergraduate engineering programs at nationally ranked peer institutions accredited by ABET.

While Nick Massa ’13 is reaching for the stars working for SpaceX as part of a classified project involving government satellites and communication, he got his start on the ground and in the classroom at WNE, where he honed the critical thinking and communication skills that would inform his innovative and collaborative mindset, as well as his determination to continuously provide value.
“I was the person who would sit in the front of the class and offer my opinions during discussions with my professors and classmates,” Nick said. “I learned that discourse is how we get to the source of the truth—the best ideas win out based on the case that you make. I used to meet my favorite professor outside of class to discuss ideas because he created an environment where different opinions were celebrated. I truly believe that is what set me up for success.”
