This list comes from American news &; The World Report officially released the 202 1 ranking of the best universities in the United States. American News ranks American universities from 1983, and updates the ranking list every year from 1985. It is one of the most authoritative and influential ranking institutions in the world. The 37-year-old university ranking system can provide authoritative reference for students to choose universities.

The ranking rules of American news are also relatively transparent, and the ranking method is as follows:

40% of educational achievements (ranked 35% in 2020) and 20% of teachers (ranked 20% in 2020).
