Time Magazine recently released its list of the "World's Top Universities of 2026," featuring schools from New York and New Jersey.

Dig deeper:
Time determined the "World's Top Universities of 2026" by analyzing eligible universities on three key pillars: academic capacity and performance, innovation and economic impact, and global engagement.
"The ranking places emphasis on the extent to which students achieve extraordinary success, for instance in patenting new inventions or rising to leadership roles in business," Times stated. "These lists help us understand where students are likely to achieve the greatest success and contribute most to society as the world order shifts."
