US News自1985年起开始,每年发布全美大学排名,逐渐成为准申请人和家长心中的信得过的品牌和选校红宝书。根据StudentPoll和ACT联合进行的调查显示,在众多美国大学排名中,US News占据重中之重的位置:58%的接受调查者使用US News的排名,21%使用Princeton Review,9%使用福布斯最佳高校排行,5%使用thebestcolleges.org,另有8%使用其他排行榜。不过US News同样提出,建议学生使用最佳研究生院排名作为辅助选择入读项目的有效工具,而不是作为下最终决定的唯一因素。唯排名论或许会对申请和入读造成一定程度的消极影响,建议读者理性看待排名的价值。Rank School NameCity#1斯坦福大学Stanford University Stanford, CA#2哈佛大学Harvard University Boston, MA#3宾夕法尼亚大学University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) Philadelphia, PA#4芝加哥大学University of Chicago (Booth) Chicago, IL#5麻省理工学院Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan) Cambridge, MA#6西北大学Northwestern University (Kellogg) Evanston, IL#7加州大学伯克利分校University of California—Berkeley (Haas) Berkeley, CA#8哥伦比亚大学Columbia University New York, NY#9达特茅斯学员Dartmouth College (Tuck) Hanover, NH#10弗吉尼亚大学University of Virginia (Darden) Charlottesville, VA#11纽约大学New York University (Stern) New York, NY#11密歇根大学University of Michigan—Ann Arbor (Ross) Ann Arbor, MI#13杜克大学Duke University (Fuqua) Durham, NC#13耶鲁大学Yale University New Haven, CT#15加州大学洛杉矶分校University of California—Los Angeles (Anderson) Los Angeles, CA#16康奈尔大学Cornell University (Johnson) Ithaca, NY#17德州大学奥斯汀分校University of Texas—Austin (McCombs) Austin, TX#18北卡罗来纳大学University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler) Chapel Hill, NC#19圣路易斯华盛顿大学Washington University in St. Louis (Olin) St. Louis, MO#20卡内基梅隆大学Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper) Pittsburgh, PA#21埃默里大学Emory University (Goizueta) Atlanta, GA#21印第安纳大学布鲁明顿分校Indiana University—Bloomington (Kelley) Bloomington, IN#23华盛顿大学University of Washington (Foster) Seattle, WA#24乔治城大学Georgetown University (McDonough) Washington, DC#25圣母大学University of Notre Dame (Mendoza) Notre Dame, IN#25南加州大学University of Southern California (Marshall) Los Angeles, CA#27德州农工大学Texas A&M University—College Station (Mays) College Station, TX#27明尼苏达大学双城分校University of Minnesota—Twin Cities (Carlson) Minneapolis, MN#27范德堡大学Vanderbilt University (Owen) Nashville, TN#30亚利桑那州立大学Arizona State University (Carey) Tempe, AZ#30佐治亚理工学院Georgia Institute of Technology (Scheller) Atlanta, GA#30俄亥俄州立大学Ohio State University (Fisher) Columbus, OH#33杨百翰大学Brigham Young University (Marriott) Provo, UT#33里斯大学Rice University (Jones) Houston, TX#33德州大学达拉斯分校University of Texas—Dallas Richardson, TX#33威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校University of Wisconsin—Madison Madison, WI#37密歇根州立大学Michigan State University (Broad) East Lansing, MI#37宾州州立大学Pennsylvania State University—University Park (Smeal) University Park, PA#37佛罗里达大学University of Florida (Hough) Gainesville, FL#37罗切斯特大学University of Rochester (Simon) Rochester, NY#41天普大学Temple University (Fox) Philadelphia, PA#41马里兰大学University of Maryland—College Park (Smith) College Park, MD#43波士顿大学Boston University Boston, MA#43爱荷华大学University of Iowa (Tippie) Iowa City, IA#45波士顿学院Boston College (Carroll) Chestnut Hill, MA#45维克森林大学Wake Forest University Winston-Salem, NC#47伊利诺伊大学香槟分校University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL#48罗格斯大学Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey—Newark and New Brunswick Newark, NJ#48南卫理公会大学Southern Methodist University (Cox) Dallas, TX#48加州大学戴维斯分校University of California—Davis Davis, CA#48康涅狄格大学University of Connecticut Storrs, CT#48匹兹堡大学University of Pittsburgh (Katz) Pittsburgh, PA#53普渡大学Pure University—West Lafayette (Krannert) West Lafayette, IN#53加州大学尔湾分校University of California—Irvine (Merage) Irvine, CA#53佐治亚大学University of Georgia (Terry) Athens, GA#56亚利桑那大学University of Arizona (Eller) Tucson, AZ#57东北大学Northeastern University Boston, MA#58贝勒大学Baylor University (Hankamer) Waco, TX#58乔治华盛顿大学George Washington University Washington, DC #58阿拉巴马大学University of Alabama (Manderson) Tuscaloosa, AL #61杜伦大学Tulane University (Freeman) New Orleans, LA#62柏森商学院Babson College (Olin) Babson Park, MA#63凯斯西储大学Case Western Reserve University (Weatherhead) Cleveland, OH#63爱荷华州立大学Iowa State University Ames, IA#63德克萨斯基督教大学Texas Christian University (Neeley) Fort Worth, TX#63阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校University of Arkansas—Fayetteville (Walton) Fayetteville, AR#63加州大学圣地亚哥分校University of California—San Diego (Rady) San Diego, CA#63俄克拉荷马大学University of Oklahoma (Price) Norman, OK#63田纳西大学University of Tennessee—Knoxville Knoxville, TN#70北卡罗来纳州立大学North Carolina State University (Jenkins) Raleigh, NC#70辛辛那提大学University of Cincinnati (Lindner) Cincinnati, OH#70路易斯维尔大学University of Louisville Louisville, KY#70犹他大学University of Utah (Eccles) Salt Lake City, UT#74威廉玛丽学院College of William and Mary (Mason) Williamsburg, VA#74马萨诸塞大学University of Massachusetts—Amherst (Isenberg) Amherst, MA#74南卡罗来纳大学University of South Carolina (Moore) Columbia, SC#77纽约市立大学巴鲁克学院CUNY Bernard M.
