2009年8月20日，《美国新闻和世界报道》杂志发布了美国最新大学排名，这也是该杂志第26次发布美国大学排名。作为最普遍引用的大学排名，相信此次排名又会引起各方争议。
今年哈佛大学和普林斯顿大学在综合性大学排名中并列第一，去年是哈佛第一，普林斯顿第二。再往前推，则大部分是普林斯顿稳坐第一把交椅。在文理学院中，威廉姆斯学院Williams College超过阿姆斯特学院Amherst College 拔得头筹。
哈佛大学在2007年年底大大提高了奖学金的比例。家庭年收入在6万美元的学生，只要录取，全部免费；家庭年收入在6万到18万美元的学生，只用付家庭年收入10%的学费(即6000-18000美元，相对哈佛3万多的学费，绝对超值)。一句话，如果能被哈佛录取，钱不是问题。这就是财大气粗的哈佛的气度。
为什么哈佛如此破费吸引学生呢？终其原因是哈佛认为你是人才，愿意在你身上投资。等你最后终于成才了，哈佛杰出校友名单中就有你的名字，即使你不捐钱，也能让哈佛的品牌更有价值。正是，哈佛成就了你，你也成就了哈佛。

2010美国顶尖商学院排名
美国权威杂志US News&World Report发布美国大学顶尖商学院2010年最新排名，包括美国大学学费以及2年在校生人数等。
经济危机，华尔街大裁员、职业市场萧条，很多青年才俊选择重回校园充电。虽然MBA毕业生的职业前景现在也不是很乐观，美国顶尖商学院MBA申请费已经到了200美元以上，学费一年到了40000美金，但是美国名校MBA申请人数还是大幅度增加，相反，名校的招生人数没有任何变化，所以经济不景气的时候申请竞争反而更激烈。
以下是2010年美国权威杂志US News&World Report发布的Top25商学院排名。
