Georgetown remains the top-ranked DC-area school, while other colleges dropped significantly.
Georgetown University remains the area’s top-ranked school, designated for the second consecutive year as number 22 on the list, and tied this year with the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. University of Maryland, College Park rose from last year’s rank of 55 to this year’s 46. George Mason University in Fairfax made the largest leap, rising from 137 on last year’s list to 105 this year, sharing that spot with eight other schools, including American University in DC.
Meanwhile, several area colleges fell, some quite dramatically. George Washington University dropped in its ranking for the first time since 2018, moving from 62 to 67. American University’s shared rank at 105 is a 33-rung dip from its former slot at 72. Howard University saw a setback as well, ranking at 115 compared to last year’s 89, yet retaining its number 2 position in the list of best historically Black colleges and universities.
