This word was first invented by Richard Moll in the book Public Ivy League: A Guide to the Best Public Undergraduate Universities in America published in 1985.
Moore was the admissions officer of Yale University and the director of the admissions committees of Bowden College, University of California, Santa Cruz and Vasa College. He traveled all over the country to inspect the quality of American higher education, and felt that many public universities offered Ivy League education at the price of public schools, but many people didn't know this.
Moore named these first-class public universities "public Ivy" and published a monograph in 1985. Among them, he pointed out eight public schools that he thought were consistent with Ivy League schools (the same number as Ivy League schools).
Matthew Greene and Howard published the book "Public Ivy: Flagship of American Public Universities" in 200 1 and began to expand these eight schools to 30. This concept has been gradually accepted by the world. Now most of the public ivy refers to the thirty schools proposed by Green.
There may be some misunderstandings in China that public universities are not as good as private universities. In fact, public universities have the obligation to popularize undergraduate education at the national level, which makes their undergraduate admission standards lower than those of private universities of the same grade. But this does not affect the admission of graduate students in public universities. The research level of American public Ivy League universities can be said to be the top in the world. The University of California, Berkeley, ranked 20th in undergraduate course, ranked third in the world, and the University of Washington, ranked 52nd in undergraduate course, ranked 1 1 in the world.
Chinese name: Public Ivy League mbth: public Ivy League Author: Richard Moll, representative institutions: University of California, University of Michigan, list of institutions, evaluation, comparison of institutions, competition level, list of institutions Moore's list: 1985, the top eight public institutions of higher learning described by Richard Moore in the book are not equal to eight Ivy League schools. Note: The ranking here does not represent the academic level or reputation of the school. The first batch of eight public Ivy League members (1985): 1, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2, University of Texas at Austin 3, University of Virginia 4, College of William and Mary 5, University of Miami at Oxford 6, University of California 7, University of Michigan 8, university of vermont. At the same time, Moore also selected nine top American public universities as candidates for eight public Ivy League schools. List of eight candidate institutions of higher learning: 1, University of Colorado at Boulder 2, Georgia Institute of Technology 3, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 4, State University of Pennsylvania at Berkeley 5, University of Pittsburgh 6, State University of New York at Binghamton 7, University of Washington 8, University of Wisconsin at Madison Green List: 200 1 Followed by Matthew Green's guide "Public Ivy League: Flagship of American Public Universities" (200 1, Howard and Matthew Green). The following is a list of 30 expansion institutions of public Ivy League: Note: The ranking here has nothing to do with the academic level or reputation of the school, just like Moore's list. 1, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2, University of Texas at Austin 3, University of Virginia 4, University of California at Berkeley 5, University of California at Davis 6, State University of New York at Binghamton 7, College of William and Mary 8, Indiana University at Bloomington 9, University of Miami at Oxford 10, Michigan State University1kloc-0.

University of Delaware 24, University of Florida 25, University of Georgia 26, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 27, University of Iowa 28, University of Michigan Development 29, University of Minnesota Gemini University of Wisconsin Madison 2 1 In addition to the universities mentioned by Moore and Green, with the development of the times, some top public universities have also been defined as public ivy 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 American News and World Report, Black People in Higher Education and Business Journal believe that, according to the standards in Moore's book, in addition to these universities, excellent public universities such as Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Washington and University of Wisconsin-Madison also have the potential to become "public Ivy League". With the economic crisis in the United States, more and more outstanding students give up the traditional Ivy League schools and choose top public universities instead. The teaching and academic level of these schools is almost the same as that of the eight Ivy League universities, but the tuition fees are low, attracting a large number of top outstanding students. The evaluation of American universities has witnessed the rapid expansion of the number of students, which makes the quality of public education more and more important. The public Ivy League represents the quality of education that students can enjoy at a relatively low cost, as well as the top private universities (although there are some exceptions, such as the University of Michigan, which ranks high in teaching quality, and charges similar tuition fees to private schools). Kiplinger's personal finance magazine ranks universities according to 2/3 of teaching quality and13 of financial expenditure. In 2007, the most valuable schools for in-state and out-of-state students were the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Binghamton State University. Comparative academic comparison and institutional ranking Moore and Green's list did not point out the reputation of the school. There is no direct comparison between public Ivy League schools and other institutions. Many schools listed as public Ivy League schools have a large number of professors or alumni who have won many awards in their respective fields, including Nobel Prize, Fields Prize and Pulitzer Prize for Journalism. In many surveys conducted by US News & World Report, some schools called public Ivy League schools by Richard Moore, Howard and Green continue to be among the best. For example, USNEWS ranks the mechanical engineering of the University of California at Berkeley as the top three, while the top three in pharmacy are the University of California at San Francisco, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. However, in the general ranking, American news and world reports have always ranked Ivy League schools in the forefront. For example, the University of California at Berkeley, the highest-ranking public ivy league school, ranks 20th in the United States, and Brown University, the lowest-ranking ivy league school, ranks 15. The reason is that many criteria on which USNEWS ranks the United States tend to be undergraduate education. Public universities are obliged to popularize education in the state, because the enrollment standards of undergraduates often lag behind those of private universities. This is why the best public universities in Berkeley, California are only in the top 20. However, the level of undergraduate education and scientific research are not the same. Due to the introduction of a large number of research indicators in the USNEWS global rankings, public ivy stands out in the world rankings. Berkeley University, which ranks 20th in undergraduate course, ranks 3rd in the world, and Washington University, which ranks 52nd in undergraduate course, ranks 1 1. The difference between Ivy League schools and most public Ivy League schools is that they participate in inter-school sports competitions. The characteristic of Ivy League schools is that they don't set up sports scholarships (even if athletes don't participate in sports activities, they will only get scholarships if they are qualified and can get scholarships). In contrast, many "public Ivy League" schools have joined major sports leagues, such as Dadong League, Top Ten League, Top Twelve League, Atlantic League, southeastern conference or pacific alliance, and they use the profits (if any) from participating in the competition to set up sports scholarships (a large part of these incomes come from American professional football or American professional basketball). The exceptions are William and Mary College, University of Miami and university of vermont. Their sports level is acceptable, but they don't offer scholarships.
