THE 100 BEST U.S. COLLEGES BY WSJ
WSJ evaluated 500 U.S. private and public universities. For its full, overall ranking, it scored each school on student outcomes (70% weight), learning environment (20%) and diversity (10%).
It employed one of the largest independent student surveys and combined it with a “rigorous statistical analysis” of government data to calculate its school scores. It also factors cost of attendance (average net price) against student outcomes.
The top 100 schools from WSJ’s 2025 Best Colleges in the U.S. are shown in the table below. The full list is available here.
