U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Master of Social Work program in a tie for No. 95 in the nation and No. 6 in the state of Texas for 2024.

OLLU shared the No. 95 position with several prominent schools, such as Louisiana State University, Seton Hall, DePaul, Auburn, North Carolina State and the University of Oklahoma.

To compile its ranking, U.S. News & World Report surveyed 319 social work programs accredited by the Council on Social Work Education Board of Accreditation.

OLLU improved its ranking from last year. In 2023, OLLU was ranked No. 7 in Texas and No. 116 in the U.S. New & World Report rankings.

“The rankings reflect the peer assessments of academic quality,” U.S. News & World Report wrote, “but other considerations involving location, environment, strength of different fields, cost after tuition and financial aid, and job placement are also very important.”
