We are proud to share some truly exciting news from our main campus, Endicott College in Boston, which has just been recognized in the U.S. News & World Report 2026 Best Colleges rankings. Since all CIS University students in Madrid earn their credits through Endicott, these achievements also reflect the academic excellence and innovation that define our shared community.
Endicott has been ranked nationally in several key categories that speak directly to who we are and what we value most:
- #11 Best Undergraduate Teaching
- #17 Co-ops/Internships
- #8 Most Innovative Schools
- #47 Best Value
These distinctions are more than just numbers; they highlight the very qualities that set our university experience apart.
Teaching Excellence (#11 in the Nation)
Endicott’s faculty has been recognized among the very best in the country for undergraduate teaching. This honor celebrates the passion and dedication that shape every classroom experience, both in Boston and here in Madrid.
Experiential Learning (#17 in Co-ops/Internships)
With its distinctive four-year internship model, Endicott ensures that students graduate not only with a degree but also with hands-on experience and strong résumés. This focus on real-world preparation is at the core of what makes a CIS University education so valuable.
Innovation (#8 Most Innovative Schools)
Endicott’s forward-thinking approach to curriculum and student experience has been nationally recognized. From reimagining the first-year journey to anticipating industry trends, innovation is not just what we teach; it is how we teach.
Value (#47 Best Value)
A degree is one of the most important investments a student and their family can make. Endicott’s recognition as one of the best values in the U.S. highlights the exceptional return on investment we strive to provide: academic quality, practical experience, and long-term career success.
For our students at CIS University in Madrid, these rankings reaffirm that their education is not only American-accredited but also nationally distinguished in the United States. The achievements of our main campus are part of the same academic DNA that defines our community here in Spain.
We celebrate these accomplishments with pride and gratitude, and with renewed motivation to continue building an education that transforms lives, both in Boston and Madrid.
