1985 Richard Moore public ivy league list includes eight public universities:

University of California, in Moore's book, what he called "University of California" is the whole university system in California (including its branches, which are distributed in Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego and Santa Cruz), and it has far-reaching influence in California, even in the United States and the world. Among them, Berkeley and UCLA are called the top four public universities.

The University of Michigan, ann arbor, is a famous public university in the Great Lakes region and one of the top universities in the world, especially in science, business, engineering and literature. It is one of the three giants of public universities with strong overall strength. .

William and Mary College is the second oldest school in the United States after Harvard University, and it is called the first school in the South. It's not very big, but it's small, but it's complicated. It used to be a private university, which was taken over by the state government in the early 20th century. Princeton University is regarded as an affiliated school of William and Mary College.

The University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and the father of the country, is good at history, politics, social sciences and architectural arts. Its campus itself is a world cultural heritage. One of the four public universities.

Liberal arts, science and business are all good, but engineering is weak. One of the four public universities.

University of vermont, an old school in New England, is also the oldest school in Vermont.

The University of Miami at Oxford is located in Oxford, Ohio (Miami University in Florida is a private university, which has nothing to do with it). It is an old comprehensive university and occupies an important position in the Ohio Valley.

Initial waiting list

Richard Moore also listed the list of public Ivy League schools in the second echelon, including 9 schools:

The University of Colorado at Polder, the best public university in Central China, specializes in mining, geology, engineering, natural science and other disciplines.

Georgia Institute of Technology, known as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the South, is the best professional college of science and engineering in the United States after MIT and California Institute of Technology.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a prestigious school located in the north-central part, majoring in computer, engineering and business, and is the core institution of the state university system. It is often listed as one of the three giants of public universities.

New Florida College is a public college of arts and sciences. Once a private school, it was later merged by the Florida State University system.

Pennsylvania State University is a state-related university (not a real public university) famous for its engineering, education, food science and earth science. It has the largest alumni network in China and excellent social and charitable services.

The University of Pittsburgh is a state-affiliated university famous for its philosophy and medicine, with a long history and a good reputation. Together with Carnegie Mellon University in the same city, it forms a large university park in Pittsburgh.

The State University of new york at Binghamton is the flagship school of new york State University, which has played a very important role in new york, the most important state in the United States. In particular, its school of management is world-famous and ranks third among the four major accounting firms in the United States.

Washington University in Seattle, the first prestigious university in the northern part of the west coast of the United States, is a top university in the world, especially in natural science, nursing and computer science, and its alumni are also of good quality.

University of Wisconsin-Madison, a famous school in the Great Lakes region, is good at natural science and social science. One of the four public universities.

Finally, add a list

Later, at the beginning of 2 1 century, according to the changes of society and the strength of each school, a new list of public Ivy League universities was drawn up. In the above two lists, university of vermont and New Florida College were deleted, while some emerging public universities were included. Green's guide "Public Ivy: Flagship of American Public Universities" (200 1) (Howard and Matthew Green) lists the following institutions as public Ivy:

Rutgers University, once a missionary school, was later merged into New Jersey State University in New Brunswick. The geographical advantage not far from new york makes it develop rapidly and become a famous rising star.

The University of Connecticut is another well-known public university in New England, which is strong in business and education.

In addition to the above list, there are some public universities that call themselves public Ivy League, such as the University of Massachusetts, Moore State University and the University of Nebraska. Some of them are indeed powerful, but they have not been officially recognized.

2 1 century development

In addition to the universities mentioned by Richard Moore and Green, with the development of the times, some top public universities have also been defined as public Ivy League by American education circles. Part of the reason is that the word has been widely accepted by popular culture, and part of the reason is the result of the efforts and strength of these institutions. For example, according to the ranking of U.S. News and World Report, Black Magazine in Higher Education and Business Magazine believe that top public universities such as Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), State University of New York at Buffalo, University of Missouri at Columbia and Purdue University can also be defined as "public Ivy League" according to the standards in Moore's book.
