D’Youville Ranks Second Top Western New York Institutions for Long-Term Return on Investment

A recent study by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce confirms what D’Youville graduates already know: a D’Youville education is an investment that pays off for a lifetime.

The national analysis, which reviewed more than 4,600 colleges and universities, placed D’Youville second in Western New York for return on investment (ROI). Over the course of 40 years, graduates see an average ROI of $2.16 million, highlighting the lasting value of a D’Youville degree.

The findings reinforce D’Youville’s momentum as the university continues to expand academic programs, launch the region’s first College of Osteopathic Medicine in nearly two centuries, and create new pathways for students to succeed.

The study also noted D’Youville’s strong performance in the short term, with graduates realizing an estimated $214,000 ROI after just ten years. These results underscore D’Youville’s position as a university that delivers both immediate value and long-term impact for its graduates.

This recognition builds on D’Youville’s growing reputation as a university committed to academic excellence, student success, and preparing graduates for meaningful, rewarding careers.
