World’s Top Universities In 2017: Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Caltech Tops

Harvard University

So it’s no surprise that Harvard University ranked No. 1 among the top 1,000 universities in the world, according to the 2017 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Global Universities rankings. Harvard University has been ranked near the top globally in other recent publications, including No. 1 in the world by the Center for World University Rankings, No. 1 in the Academic Ranking of World Universities, No. 1 in the CEOWORLD magazine’s global business school rankings, and No. 6 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

The ranking placed Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at No. 2, followed by Stanford University at No. 3, University of California Berkeley at No. 4, and California Institute of Technology at No. 5. Princeton University, Columbia University, and University of California Los Angeles followed in 8th, 9th, and 10th place.

Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, and Caltech: What do these universities have in common?

They’re the top 5 universities in the world.

And the U.S. doesn’t only have the top 5 overall — of the 1,000 top universities, 210 are in the United States.
