Top schools in this division are Princeton, Harvard, Yale, MIT and Stanford. Saint Mary’s, St. Thomas and the University of Minnesota are the only Minnesota schools in this category, and SMU is one of only 17 U.S. Catholic universities listed.
SMU was recently reclassified from a master’s comprehensive to a doctoral institution due to the rising number of doctoral degrees conferred. SMU formerly was in the first tier of U.S. News’ “Midwestern Colleges and Universities with Master’s Degrees” category.
