"Out of 584 public and private universities ranked, Stanford University was named the best college in the country, just ahead of Babson College, Yale University, Princeton University and Harvard University. Stanford's placement at the top of the list is a victory for the prestigious Bay Area school after it was ranked at No. 3 last year and No. 4 the previous year. UC Berkeley was the public California university that appeared highest on the list, ranking No. 7,"
"Other University of California campuses that secured leading spots in the top 20 were UC Davis (No. 13) and UC Merced (No. 14), which saw a small jump from its No. 18 ranking last year. The Central Valley-based university, which is the youngest campus in the UC system, has made significant strides in recent years, and only ranked No. 59 in the 2024 Wall Street Journal list."
Stanford holds the No. 1 national ranking among 584 public and private universities. Babson, Yale, Princeton and Harvard follow closely. UC Berkeley is the highest-ranked public California university at No. 7, positioned between Claremont McKenna and Columbia. UC Davis and UC Merced sit in the top 20 at Nos. 13 and 14, with UC Merced climbing from No. 18 last year and previously listed at No. 59 in 2024. San Jose State is the top California State University at No. 17, followed by several Cal State campuses. UCLA fell from No. 68 to No. 80, and other California institutions appear lower on the ranking.
